Breaking barriers in regenerative medicine:

Confocal microscopy sheds light on the role of olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) within the nervous system

Nerve regeneration is one of the most ambitious targets in regenerative medicine today. In this article, the authors show how high-performance confocal laser scanning microscopy with TruSpectral technology helped them gain deep insights into the nature and behavior of OECs, a promising candidate for neuronal regenerative medicine therapies.
