OBTAINING OF CELLULAR PREPARATIONS OF RAT AND HUMAN OLFACTORY MUCOSA AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE SIZE OF MODELED SPINAL CORD CYSTALS

Abstract

Enriched cultures of olfactory ensheathing cells and neural stem/progenitor cells were obtained according to our developed protocols from the olfactory mucosa of rat and human. It has been shown that only transplantation of human and rat olfactory ensheathing cells leads to a significant decrease in the size of cysts, as well as their complete disappearance in some animals.
