Biopsies of human olfactory epithelium.
It has been shown that olfactory epithelium can be safely biopsied from the living, intact human being. Observations of the ultrastructure of this epithelium shows changes that can then be correlated with the etiology and degree of olfactory loss, allowing a greater understanding of both normal transduction and of the pathology of dysfunction. Examples of the common forms of olfactory dysfuncti...
متن کاملOlfactory Ensheathing Cell Tumor Arising from the Olfactory Mucosa
We report a rare case of olfactory ensheathing cell tumor. A female presented a large soft mass extending medially to the olfactory cleft and laterally to the middle meatus in the left nasal cavity. Imaging studies confirmed a cystic mass extending superiorly into the frontal lobe, indicating that the tumor arouse from the olfactory mucosa. A subtotal resection was achieved through an endoscopi...
متن کاملTowards a truly biomimetic olfactory microsystem: an artificial olfactory mucosa.
Today, the capability of the human olfactory system is still, in many ways, superior to that of the electronic nose. Although electronic noses are often compared with their biological counterpart, they neither mimic its neural architecture nor achieve its discriminating performance. Experimental studies on the mammalian olfactory system suggest that the nasal cavity, comprising of the mucous la...
متن کاملElectron Microscopic Observations of the Olfactory Mucosa and Olfactory Nerve
The olfactory receptor cell is characterized by a distal process (the dendrite) which terminates in the olfactory passage as the olfactory rod. The olfactory rod is provided with numerous cilia which are similar in structure to those seen in other tissues. The central processes of the bipolar cell constitute the fila olfactoria. The cytoplasmic organelles of the sustentacular cell are concentra...
متن کاملA prospective observational study of the yield of olfactory ensheathing cells cultured from biopsies of septal nasal mucosa.
OBJECTIVE We sought to study the yield of olfactory ensheathing cells from biopsies of the mucosa of the nasal septum. These specialized cells encourage regeneration of nerves of the central nervous system and may be of value for spinal cord and nerve injuries. METHODS We undertook a prospective observational study of biopsies of nasal mucosa by endonasal dissection of the mucosa of the nasal...
