Product Overview

Description

Olfactory glial cells (OEG) are valued for their unique properties in promoting the regeneration of central nervous system components. Immortalized rat olfactory ensheathing glial cells (TEG) retain their main characteristics and can be used for biochemical analysis of nerve regeneration mechanisms and development of treatment options for the regeneration of the central nervous system in vivo. When used as a substrate for retinal ganglion neurons (RGN), immortalized rat olfactory ensheathing glial (TEG) can effectively promote neurite growth and regeneration.
