Olfactory stem cells - a promising autologous approach to cell based therapies
Background Regerative therapeutic approaches may be a promising tool especially in neurodegenerative diesease. There is a variety of stem stell sources in humans, having each advantages as well as disadvantages. The utilization of autologous human olfactory stem- and precursor cells is a minimal invasive method to gain cells for different therapeutical approaches not limited to ENT-realated dieseas.
Metrhods We harvested olfactory and respiratory mucosa probes in more than 20 patients having a septumplasty after getting their informed consent. We purified olfactory stem cells and characterized these before differentiation.
Results We did not observe any complications while or after harvesting the mucosa probes in patients. In contrast to respiratory mucosa, we could isolate olfactory stem cells in our olfactory mucosa probes. We were able to proliferate and differentiate these into neuronal-like cells afterwards.
Conclusion The utilisation of olfactory stem cells may be a prospective autologous therapeutic approach for the treatment of different neuroregenrative diesease.
