Characterization of porcine aortic valvular interstitial cell 'calcified' nodules.

Characterization of porcine aortic valvular interstitial cell 'calcified' nodules.

Valve interstitial cells populate aortic valve cusps and have been implicated in aortic valve calcification. Here we investigate a common in vitro model for aortic valve calcification by characterizing nodule formation in porcine aortic valve interstitial cells (PAVICs) cultured in osteogenic (OST)...
