Single-cell (SC) analysis provides unique insight into individual cell dynamics and cell-to-cell heterogeneity. Here, we utilize trapped ion mobility separation coupled with dual-polarity ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) to enable high-throughput in situ profiling of the SC lipidome. Multimodal imaging, which dual-polarity-mode MSI is used perform serial data acquisition runs on cells, significantly enhanced lipidome coverage. High-spatial resolution SC-MSI identifies both inter-...

Vocal fold scarring disrupts the layer structure of vocal lamina propria that is essential for optimal mucosal vibration. Prevention remains challenging. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has strong antifibrotic activity. The authors' previous studies have found HGF stimulates hyaluronic acid production and suppresses collagen from fibroblasts, suggesting therapeutic potential in prevention scarring. present study aimed to demonstrate effects on an vivo rabbit model.Animal experiment.The mucosa...

Summary Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and TGF-β3 have been reported to exert differential effects on wound healing, possibly even account for tissue-specific differences in scar formation. Scarring is particularly detrimental the vocal fold mucosa (VFM), where destruction of native extracellular matrix causes irreparable biomechanical changes voice impairment. Here, a series vitro vivo experiments, we identified TGF-β1 transcription immunolocalization various cell subpopulations naïve...

Glycosylation is a major protein post-translational modification whose dysregulation has been associated with many diseases. Herein, an on-tissue chemical derivatization strategy based on positively charged hydrazine reagent (Girard's P) coupled matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) was developed for analysis of N-glycans from FFPE treated tissue sections. The performance the proposed approach evaluated by monosaccharides, oligosaccharides,...

Purpose To develop and evaluate a rat excised larynx model for the measurement of acoustic, aerodynamic, vocal fold vibratory changes resulting from scar. Method Twenty-four 4-month-old male Sprague–Dawley rats were assigned to 1 4 experimental groups: chronic scar, scar treated with 100-ng basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), saline (sham treatment), unscarred untreated control.

The vocal fold mucosa plays an important role in voice production. Its cellular composition and density frequently change under various pathological conditions, often contributing to altered extracellular matrix production, tissue viscoelasticity, quality. In this study, changes the rat following a unilateral stripping injury were investigated analyzed semi-quantitatively. Distinctive sequential morphology, composition, observed post-injury. Cellular recruitment was major event during early...
