嗅鞘细胞(olfactory ensheathing cells,OECs)作为中枢神经修复学领域重要细胞类型之一,2007年各国神经科学研究者对其细胞学、细胞治疗基础和临床研究继续不断深入。其中Pubmed数据库收录相关文献为63篇,中国知网数据库为70篇,分别比2006年度的49篇和60篇增长14篇(28.6%)和10篇(16.7%)。本文对本年度有关重要研究结果作一汇总。 Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are one of the important cell types in the field of central nervous system repair. In 2007, neuroscience researchers in various countries continued to deepen their basic research on cytology, cell therapy and clinical research. Among them, Pubmed database included 63 articles, while that of China Known Web Database was 70, up 14 (28.6%) and 10 (16.7%) respectively from 49 articles and 60 articles in 2006 respectively. This article summarizes the findings of this year's important research.
