Schwann cells (SCs), olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs), and central nervous system Schwann cell‐like glia (SG) represent a group of nerve growth factor receptor p75 (NGFR)‐positive cells, originating from different tissues. Because of their pro‐regenerative capacities, these cells are subjects in e...
