Composition, turnover, and mechanics of extracellular matrix in developing, aging, and pathological valves for application in the design of age-specific tissue engineered heart valves
Debilitating valve disease necessitating valve replacement affects patients of all ages, all of whom would benefit from a tissue engineered heart valve with immunocompatibility, the ability of the valve to remodel in response to altered hemodynamics or patient growth, and physiologic mechanics.
