Abstract

The review focuses on the most important areas of cell therapy for spinal cord injuries. Olfactory mucosa cells are promising for transplantation. Obtaining these cells is safe for patients. The use of olfactory mucosa cells is effective in restoring motor function due to the remyelination and regeneration of axons after spinal cord injuries. These cells express neurotrophic factors that play an important role in the functional recovery of nerve tissue after spinal cord injuries. In addition, it is possible to increase the content of neurotrophic factors, at the site of injury, exogenously by the direct injection of neurotrophic factors or their delivery using gene therapy. The advantages of olfactory mucosa cells, in combination with neurotrophic factors, open up wide possibilities for their application in three-dimensional and four-dimensional bioprinting technology treating spinal cord injuries.

Keywords: Olfactory mucosa cells; Neurotrophic factors; Cell therapy; Injury of spinal cord; Three-dimensional bioprinting; Four-dimensional bioprinting

Core Tip: The development of an optimal strategy for the treatment of spinal cord injuries is a relevant and topical issue in modern medicine. Olfactory mucosa cells and neurotrophic factors showed their effectiveness in transplantation into the area of the injured spinal cord. In this review, the authors discuss the possibility of their application in four-dimensional bioprinting to create transplants that would have a complex impact on the transplant-mediated repair of the damaged area of the spinal cord.
