Background/Objectives: Aged vocal folds are characterized by atrophy of the mucosa, which caused dysphonia and is difficult to treat. We have revealed a therapeutic potential of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) for tissue regeneration of the aged vocal fold. We report here the first human case

## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: We investigated acute changes in extracellular matrix gene expression and histologic changes in the deposition of collagen and hyaluronan (HA) from hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) treatment of the aged rat vocal fold. We hypothesized that: 1) HGF induces matrix
We have found that insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) accumulates to higher levels in medium conditioned by a strain of normal fibroblasts at late passage (LP) and a strain derived from subjects with Werner syndrome (WS) of premature aging, compared to medium conditioned by the s
