Local Alpha1‐Antitrypsin Accelerates the Healing of Tympanic Membrane Perforation in Mice Laryngoscope (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-23 Sabri El‐Saied, Amit Amar, Daniel M. Kaplan, Rivka Shitrit, Benyamin M. Kaminer, Aharon Keshet, Eli C. Lewis
BackgroundMost tympanic membrane (TM) perforations heal spontaneously, but 10%–20% remain chronic and might lead to impaired hearing and recurrent middle ear infections. Alpha1‐antitrypsin (AAT) is a circulating tissue‐protective protein that is elevated under inflammatory conditions and is currently indicated for genetic AAT deficiency. Recently, AAT has been shown to promote tissue remodeling and
