Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: To investigate the role of Smad3 as a regulator of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1-mediated cell activities associated with fibrosis in normal human vocal fold fibroblasts. We also sought to confirm the temporal stability of Smad3 knockdown via small inhibitor ribonucleic acid (siRNA). Vocal fold fibroblasts were employed to determine the effects of Smad3 knockdown on TGF-β1-mediated...
