Skeletal muscle has been recognized as an essential source of progenitor or satellite cells, which are primarily responsible for muscle regeneration. Recently, muscle has also been identified as a valuable source of postnatal stem cells that appear to be distinct from satellite cells and possess the

## Abstract Adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be isolated from bone marrow or marrow aspirates and because they are cultureβdish adherent, they can be expanded in culture while maintaining their multipotency. The MSCs have been used in preclinical models for tissue engineering of bone, cartil
## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: One potential treatment option for severe vocal fold scarring is to replace the vocal fold cover layer with a tissueβengineered structure containing autologous cells. As a first step toward that goal, we sought to develop a threeβdimensional cellβpopulated mat
