Novel Isolation and Biochemical Characterization of Immortalized Fibroblasts for Tissue Engineering Vocal Fold Lamina Propria
22 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
Tissue regeneration of the vocal fold lamina propria extracellular matrix (ECM) will be facilitated by the use of suitable vocal fold fibroblast (VFF) cell lines in appropriate model systems. Primary human VFFs (hVFFs) were steadily transduced by a retroviral vector containing human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene; immortalized cells grew and divided vigorously for more than 120 days. Biochemical...
