Abstract excerpt
The pathological mechanisms underlying the sex-dependent presentation of calcific aortic stenosis (AS) remain poorly understood. We aim to analyse sex-specific responses of valve interstitial cells (VICs) to calcific environments and to identify new pathological and potentially druggable targets. First, VICs from stenotic patients were modelled using pro-calcifying media (HP). Both male and female VICs were...
