Earlier versions injected the cells at the site of the injury, but the Phase I/IIa trial will use 1-2 cm (0.4-0.8 inch) bridges built of millions of olfactory ensheathing nerve cells.

Published in Nature, this study bridges gaps between animal and human olfactory research, enhancing our understanding of how we perceive smells. Individual nerve cells in the brain can predict ...

said olfactory ensheathing cells are the specialised cells within the olfactory (sense of smell) nerve within the nose that have numerous therapeutic properties for repairing and regenerating nerves.

It sounded kind of crazy at first, but then I paused. Our nose has a direct connection to the brain through the olfactory nerve and olfactory bulb. The olfactory nerve is the shortest cranial nerve.
