YAP/TAZ inhibition refines TGF-β signaling to prevent laryngeal fibrosis
2026-05-21
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Voice disorders affect nearly 20 million Americans and cost more than $13 billion annually. Vocal fold (VF) fibrosis, a major cause of chronic dysphonia, disrupts normal vocal fold vibration by replacing the flexible extracellular matrix with stiff fibrotic tissue. Although TGF-β drives fibrosis, it also activates intrinsic negative feedback mechanisms, including SMAD7 induction and SMAD3 downre...
