The paper compares gene expression in left and right intrinsic laryngeal muscles of rats, identifying asymmetrical gene expression related to neuromuscular function.

This study investigates VGLUT1 expression in rat laryngeal muscles to assess the presence of proprioceptive organs, finding few muscle spindles and no Golgi tendon organs, suggesting alternative proprioceptive structures.

This paper develops an optimized RNA extraction method for rat intrinsic laryngeal muscles, achieving high-quality RNA suitable for RNA-seq.

The paper examines the expression of GDNF receptors in the nucleus ambiguus of developing rat brains and finds differential upregulation patterns across embryonic stages.
