Process of tight junction recovery in the injured vocal fold epithelium: Morphological and paracellular permeability analysis

ConclusionsIt was strongly suggested that TJs in the vocal fold epithelium exist at the junctional regions of the first layer of stratified squamous epithelium. TJ‐based paracellular diffusion barrier following vocal fold injury is recovered by 14 days postinjury, and this period corresponds with the time course of structural changes in the regenerating epithelium layer.
