Secreted cytokines from inflammatory macrophages modulate sex differences in valvular interstitial cells on hydrogel biomaterials

2024-11-15

Abstract excerpt

Patients with aortic valve stenosis (AVS) experience fibrosis and/or calcification in valve tissue, which leads to heart failure if left untreated. Inflammation is a hallmark of AVS and secreted cytokines from pro-inflammatory macrophages are thought to contribute to valve fibro-calcification by driving the activation of valvular interstitial cells (VICs) to myofibroblasts. However, the molecular mechanisms by whi...
