The clinical applications of nanotechnology are emerging as widely popular, particularly as
a potential treatment approach for infectious diseases. Diseases associated with multiple …

In nature, the self-assembly of sequence-specific biopolymers into hierarchical structures
plays an essential role in the construction of functional biomaterials. To develop synthetic …

Wound healing is a complicated physiological process that comprises various steps,
including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. The wound healing …

Communication by voice depends on symmetrical vibrations within the vocal folds (VFs) and
is indispensable for various occupations. VF scarring is one of the main reasons for …

Vocal fold (VF) mucosal fibrosis results in substantial voice impairment and is recalcitrant to
current treatments. To reverse this chronic disorder, anti-fibrotic therapies should target the …

Introduction Endotracheal intubation is a common procedure to maintain an open airway
with risks for traumatic injury. Pathological changes resulting from intubation can cause …

Objectives/Hypothesis Our laboratory recently described NR4A1 as an endogenous inhibitor
of TGF‐β–induced vocal fold (VF) fibrosis. Our prior report described the temporal …

Introduction Glucocorticoids (GCs) are commonly prescribed for laryngeal indications due to
their potent anti‐inflammatory properties. However, GCs effect on vocal fold (VF) epithelial …

Objectives Development of novel vocal fold (VF) therapeutics is limited by a lack of
standardized, meaningful outcomes. We hypothesize that automated microindentation …

Objective We hypothesize that Smad3 is a master regulator of fibrosis in the vocal folds
(VFs) and RNA‐based therapeutics targeting Smad3 hold therapeutic promise. Delivery …
