[Progress in research on olfactory epithelial regeneration]
Abstract:
The olfactory epithelium(OE) is the neuro-epithelial tissue that can be regenerated after damage in the nervous system. However, certain factors, such as neurodegenerative diseases, head trauma, viral infections, etc. , can lead to olfactory dysfunction, affecting patients' physical and mental health, quality of life and risk identification, and even increase patient mortality. Therefore, it is important to clarify the mechanism of OE regeneration regulation and to find new treatment methods. This review is based on OE and the composition of olfactory stem cells, physiological and pathological olfactory sensory neurons regeneration regulation and treatment of olfactory disorders.
