Porcine aortic valve interstitial cells in three-dimensional culture: comparison of phenotype with aortic smooth muscle cells.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Recent heart valve tissue engineering efforts have involved populating scaffolds with cells isolated from vascular sources, though it is unclear whether cells from valvular origins behave similarly to vascular cells. The study aim was to compare the phenotype of porcine aortic valve interstitial cells (PAVICs) and porcine aortic smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) in two-dimensional...
