Media that support the growth and differentiation of oligodendrocytes do not induce olfactory ensheathing cells to express a myelinating phenotype.

Abstract excerpt
The glial cells that ensheath olfactory axons are referred to as ensheathing cells. In vivo, these non-myelinating glial cells express a mixture of astrocyte-specific and Schwann cell-specific phenotypic features with the former cellular phenotype predominating, but in vitro can assemble a myelin...
