16. Regenerative medicine of the airway cartilage : a morphological and immunohistochemical study with focus on cricoid cartilage defects treated with BMP-2
Abstract : Background: Cartilage provides flexible support for upper airway. Induction of cartilage healing is required for the success of many surgical interventions in the head and neck that are used as treatments for several diseases, such as subglottic stenosis and tumors of the larynx and thyroid.

18. Corneal stromal cell responses to traumatic wounds and topical treatments
Abstract : Background. The cornea has unique anatomic, cellular, molecular, and functional features that lead to important mechanistic differences in the process of repair in comparison with what occurs in skin and other organs. The first observable stromal response in corneal wound healing is keratocyte apoptosis. READ MORE

20. Reconstruction of vocal fold scarring with mesenchymal stromal cell therapy
Abstract : Tissue injury/scarring of the vocal folds (VFs) can be caused by various factors including external trauma, cancer treatment or inflammation, leading to damage within the vibrating layers and a decrease in viscoelastic functions. These effects ultimately result in severe voice problems. This condition leads to significant morbidity for patients. READ MORE
