Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF STUDY: The use of a biological, biodegradable scaffold remodeled by cells to resemble a valve leaflet is an attractive approach to tissue engineering. The study aim was to evaluate the suitability of a three-dimensional biodegradable collagen sponge for maintenance of cell viability, proliferation and phenotype of cultured human cardiac valve interstitial cells (ICs). METHODS: Pieces of...
