Abstract excerpt
Cell-driven processes are now considered of relevance for the pathogenesis of aortic stenosis. In particular, during calcific valve degeneration, interstitial valve cells (VIC) resident in the leaflet can acquire an osteogenic/pro-calcific profile and actively contribute to matrix mineralization. The proteomic study described in this chapter is undertaken to investigate modifications in the proteome of bovine...
