Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Neovascularization is a recognized feature of many valvular diseases and is established by numerous angiogenic modulators. Less known is that angiogenic modulators are multifunctional and have additional roles in valve development and disease. Recent advancements in this area are described. RECENT FINDINGS: Initiation of epithelial to mesenchymal transformation, a developmental induction that...
