Characterization of Dermal Fibroblasts as a Cell Source for Pediatric Tissue Engineered Heart Valves
There is continued debate regarding the appropriate cell type to replace valvular interstitial cells (VICs) in tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVs), particularly for pediatric patients. In this work, neonatal human dermal fibroblasts (nhDFFs) were compared to human pediatric VICs (hpVICs), based o...
