Advanced Methodology and Preliminary Measurements of Molecular and Mechanical Properties of Heart Valves under Dynamic Strain

Mammalian heart valves are soft tissue assemblies with multi-scale material properties. This is because they are constructs comprising both muscle and non-contractile extracellular matrix proteins (such as collagens and proteoglycans) and transition regions where one form of tissue structure becomes...
