Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ team develops hydrogel that outlasted current treatments in a preclinical study, a step toward reducing the need for repeat procedures

Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ researchers have engineered a new hydrogel that shows early promise as a treatment for people with vocal cord injuries.

Voice loss is often permanent when scarring forms on the vocal cords. Current injectable treatments break down quickly, which can force patients to get repeated procedures that can further damage the delicate tissue.
