Low-dose curcumin stimulates proliferation, migration and phagocytic activity of olfactory ensheathing cells.
One of the promising strategies for neural repair therapies is the transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) which are the glial cells of the olfactory system. We evaluated the effects of curcumin on the behaviour of mouse OECs to determine if it could be of use to further enhance the th...
