Olfactory ensheathing glia are very special cells. Situated in the olfactory bulb and nerve, these cells are believed to be responsible for the ability of the olfactory nerve to continuously regenerate in adult mammals. Transplanted into brain and spinal cord, these cells will migrate rapidly to usher growing axons to their destination, provide growth factors and other guidance cues for the axons, and can promote functional regeneration in transected spinal cords. Nov 20, 2000. Pulsed Electromagnetic fields .
Much evidence support an effect of electromagnetic fields on regeneration.
Rich Borgens and colleagues at Purdue University have long reported that electromagnetic fields to stimulate spinal axonal growth, including a recent paper indicating that oscillating electromagnetic fields promotes bidirectional regeneration in dogs. A human clinical trial using the oscillating electromagnetic field is planned. Nov 19, 2000. GM1 and Parkinson's Disease . Long used to treat a variety of neurological ailments, GM1 stimulates neuronal growth by influencing the activity of various enzymes called protein kinases.
