Development and characterization of collagen type I and hyaluronic acid (HA) based interlaced scaffolds for tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVS)

An ideal scaffold for the regeneration of valvular tissue should replicate the natural heart valve extracellular matrix (ECM) in terms of microstructure and properties. Tissue engineers have achieved limited success so far in designing an ideal scaffold; scaffolds lack in mechanical compatibility, a...
