Cell therapy for spinal cord injury with olfactory ensheathing glia cells (OECs).

abstract：:Macrophages are critically involved in the pathogenesis of genetically caused demyelination, as it occurs in inherited demyelinating neuropathies. On the basis of the observation that upregulation of the Schwann cell-derived chemokine MCP-1 (CCL2) is a pathologically relevant mechanism for macrophage activation in mic...

Despite this, little is known about the responses of adult OPC...
