Abstract
Therapeutic efficacy of olfactory ensheathing cells and type I collagen administered separately or in combination was studied in a model of chronic spinal cord injury in rats. The introduction of collagen hydrogel at a concentration of 4 mg/ml with and without olfactory ensheathing cells into spinal cord cysts reduced cyst volume and restored hindlimb motor function. The introduction of collagen hydrogel at both concentrations (1 and 4 mg/ml) with and without ensheathing cells stimulated remyelination of damaged nerve tissue. The results show that further study of this bioengineered preparation, as well as other combinations with cells or hydrogels is promising for the treatment of spinal cord injuries.
期刊介绍:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine presents original peer reviewed research papers and brief reports on priority new research results in physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, genetics, oncology, etc. Novel trends in science are covered in new sections of the journal - Biogerontology and Human Ecology - that first appeared in 2005.
World scientific interest in stem cells prompted inclusion into Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine a quarterly scientific journal Cell Technologies in Biology and Medicine (a new Russian Academy of Medical Sciences publication since 2005). It publishes only original papers from the leading research institutions on molecular biology of stem and progenitor cells, stem cell as the basis of gene therapy, molecular language of cell-to-cell communication, cytokines, chemokines, growth and other factors, pilot projects on clinical use of stem and progenitor cells.
The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.
