Characterization of human vocal fold fibroblasts derived from chronic scar
26 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: In vitro modeling of cell-matrix interactions that occur during human vocal fold scarring is uncommon, as primary human vocal fold scar fibroblast cell lines are difficult to acquire. The purpose of this study was to characterize morphologic features, growth kinetics, contractile properties, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) protein expression and gene expression profile of human vocal fold...
