Olfactory bulb ensheathing glia (OB-OEG) from adult rodents promote functional and morphological repair after grafting into injured spinal cords. To provide insight into the feasibility of using OB-OEG in human therapy, we studied OB-OEG in primates to determine their suitability for spinal cord transplantation. Here, we show that OEG can be obtained from olfactory bulbs of adult macaca mulatta and nemestrina...
