Instability of Extracellular Matrix Gene Expression in Primary Cell Culture of Fibroblasts from Human Vocal Fold Lamina Propria and Tracheal Scar

Abstract excerpt

Primary fibroblast cell cultures were established from lamina propria of human vocal fold and tracheal scar. There exists a crucial need to provide new tools for studying voice biology, and one of the first steps is the development of a human primary laryngeal cell culture bank. Because cell lines can lose their differentiated phenotype in culture across passages, documentation of gene expression must be...
