Vocal fold scarring is the fibrotic manifestation of a variety of voice disorders, and is difficult
to treat. Tissue engineering therapies provide a potential strategy to regenerate the native …

Vocal folds are important to daily breathing, speech, and swallowing functions. Irreversible
changes to the vocal fold mucosa, such as scarring and atrophy, require regenerative …

Creation of sub-epithelial voids within scarred vocal folds via ultrafast laser ablation may
help in localization of injectable therapeutic biomaterials towards an improved treatment for …

Scarring of the vocal fold lamina propria (LP) can cause considerable voice disorders due to
