The REdesign Lab is proud to start the year with a new paper acceptance at ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering! Led by Dr. Camilo Mora-Navarro, the study debuts vocal fold lamina propria as a hydrogel and demonstrates its ability to modulate fibroblast activation via TGF-b1.  Our collaborators are from the New York University School of Medicine and the NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine.
