Comparison of bulbar and mucosal olfactory ensheathing cells using FACS and simultaneous antigenic bivariate cell cycle analysis
New source of olfactory ensheathing cells which do not require invasive surgery ('A significant step toward a clinical therapy', Prof Geoff Raisman, FRS), UKSCI is supporting clinical trial work. The results justified funding to build prototype GMP compliant nanofibre synthesis systems (patents US2012034461, WO2010010362) available to academia/industry via the STFC ITAC Facility, e.g. used by Johnson Matthey in fuel cell research. The Electrospinning Company licensed the patents and use the facility for TSB and FP7 projects and sales of their Mimetix well plate technology. The equipment helped ESP Technology (£365k, 2011) and Cella Energy (>£1M) win venture investment.
