Realizing a Phase I human clinical trial commencing to test the efficacy and safety of the transplantation of olfactory cell nerve bridges to treat chronic spinal cord injury. Since the passing of ...

Earlier versions injected the cells at the site of the injury, but the Phase I/IIa trial will use 1-2 cm (0.4-0.8 inch) bridges built of millions of olfactory ensheathing nerve cells.

Griffith University researcher, Professor James St John, said olfactory ensheathing cells are the specialised cells within the olfactory (sense of smell) nerve within the nose that have numerous ...

Specialised cells, known as olfactory ensheathing cells, are then separated and expanded in the laboratory over several weeks. They can be frozen until the patient is ready for the transplant.

Cells in the nose are constantly being replaced by stem cells that grow from the nose into the brain. Olfactory ensheathing cells are found within the nose have an important peripheral nervous ...
