Functional Characteristics of the Crosstalk Between Vocal Fold Fibroblasts and Macrophages-The Role of Vibration in Vocal Fold Inflammation.

J Voice

January 2025

Division of Phoniatrics, ENT University Hospital Graz, Medical University of Graz, Graz, Austria; Division of Physiology and Pathophysiology, Otto Loewi Research Center for Vascular Biology, Immunology and Inflammation, Medical University of Graz, Graz, Austria.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explored how human vocal fold fibroblasts (hVFF) interact with macrophages in the presence of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) and vibration, focusing on vocal fold inflammation.
  • Researchers cultured hVFF with CSE, applying either static or dynamic conditions, and then measured various mRNA and protein levels to assess inflammation.
  • Findings revealed that vibration may reduce CSE-induced inflammatory responses in hVFF, suggesting potential mechanisms to address voice disorders linked to smoking-related inflammation.

Background: There is a global need for synthetic speech development in multiple languages and dialects, as many children who cannot communicate using their natural voice struggle to find synthetic voices on high-technology devices that match their age, social and linguistic background.

Aims: To document multiple stakeholders' perspectives surrounding the quality, acceptability and utility of newly created synthetic speech in three under-resourced South African languages, namely South African English, Afrikaans and isiXhosa.

Methods & Procedures: A mixed methods research design was selected.
