THIS report describes neurogenesis in the adult human olfactory epithelium in vitro.
Olfactory epithelium was collected at autopsy and by biopsy, and grown in serum-free
medium. Basic fibroblast growth factor induced the differentiation of bipolar cells which were
immunopositive for several neuronal proteins but not glial proteins.[3 H] thymidine
autoradiography confirmed that these neurones were born in vitro. The results demonstrate
that the adult human olfactory epithelium retains the capacity for neurogenesis and neuronal …
