Abstract excerpt
Paralysed skeletal muscle of rats with spinal cord injury (SCI) undergoes atrophy and a switch in gene expression pattern which leads to faster, more fatigable phenotypes. Olfactory ensheathing glia (OEG) transplants have been reported to promote axonal regeneration and to restore sensory-motor function in animals with SCI. We hypothesized that OEG transplants could attenuate skeletal muscle phenotypic...
