Regeneration of Vocal Fold Mucosa Using Tissue-Engineered Structures with Oral Mucosal Cells
Fig 6
Evaluation of an organotypic cultured vocal fold.
Hematoxylin and Eosin staining revealed that the tissue-engineered vocal fold mucosa consisted of the epithelium and lamina propria. The epithelium comprised two to four cell layers (A). Cells in the upper layer of the tissue-engineered vocal fold mucosa immunohistochemically expressed cytokeratin (B). Cells in the lower layer of the tissue-engineered vocal fold mucosa immunohistochemically expressed vimentin (C).
