Abstract excerpt
A key challenge in tissue engineering a heart valve is to reproduce the major tissue structures responsible for native valve function. Here we evaluated human adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) as a source of cells for heart valve tissue engineering investigating their ability to synthesize and p...
