Characterization of cell motility in single heart valve interstitial cells in vitro.
1 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
Valve interstitial cells (VIC) are the most prevalent cells in the heart valve, regulating to a large extent the normal biology of the valve and its pathobiological response to disease. In the process of valve tissue repair by VICs, single cell motility is likely to be important, as it is in wound repair by most mesenchymal type cells. We designed in vitro experiments using low density monolayer cultures to study...
