Microencapsulated olfactory ensheathing cell transplantation reduces P2X4 receptor overexpression and inhibits neuropathic pain in rats.

CONCLUSIONS: OECs and MC-OECs transplantation can reduce the expression level of P2X4 receptor and relieve pain. The therapeutic efficacy was better in the MC-OECs group than in the OECs group. MC-OECs transplantation have the better effects of treatment with the increase of MC-OECs transplantation time. PMID: 31539546 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
