Immortalization of human valve interstitial cells: an <i>in vitro</i> tool for studying fibro-calcific aortic valve degeneration
2024-09-26
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Human primary valve interstitial cells (VIC) are essential for studying the detrimental fibrocalcification processes typical of aortic valve degeneration. However, their limited lifespan poses a significant challenge. To address this, we immortalized VICs to extend their lifespan and facilitate genetic manipulation, enabling the study of dysregulated molecular and cellular pathways in this patho...
