Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

We studied survival of rat ensheathing cells after transplantation into experimental posttraumatic cysts. These cells were prepared according to our original protocol, labeled with intravital membrane dye PKH26, and transplanted into posttraumatic cysts of the spinal cord. The presence of cysts was verified by magnetic resonance imaging. Olfactory ensheathing cells were detected in the spinal cord by the immunofluorescence method. It was shown that rat olfactory ensheathing cells survived in the spinal cord over 4 weeks and their migration was observed. High survival rate and the possibility of obtaining olfactory ensheathing cells from the olfactory mucosa of patients for creation of an autologous preparation allow considering them as very promising material for the treatment of patients with posttraumatic cysts of the spinal cord.
