Aortic valve disease: Novel animal models for advancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Due to the complex pathophysiology of aortic valve disease (AVD) and the resulting lack of effective pharmacotherapy, existing animal models are valuable research tools, but each has its own strengths and limitations. This review systematically surveys the major AVD models, compares their induction methods, pathological features, advantages and ...

Methacrylated Gelatin and Graphene Oxide Hybrid Hydrogels Composed‐Bioinks for 3D Tissue Engineering

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Bioinks made from hydrogels, such as methacrylated gelatin (GelMA), serve as the base material for bioprinted tissues, offering versatility and biocompatibility for a range of applications. Additional components however are still needed to improve functionality and mechanical stability of hydrogels. One of these components is graphene oxide (GO), added

Hyperbranched poly‐L‐lysine surface‐engineered bioprosthetic heart valves with anti‐calcification, anti‐infection, and durability

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The challenges of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV) with respect to calcification, infection, and poor durability are tackled by surface engineering of hyperbranched poly‐L‐lysine (HBPL), providing a translational solution to improve long‐term valve performance.

Severe Trileaflet Aortic Stenosis Without Significant Valve Calcification in an Older Adult

Methodist DeBakey Cardiovascular Journal
Severe aortic stenosis (AS) is most often caused by progressive valve calcification; however, rare cases occur with little or no calcification. We report a 79-year-old man with a trileaflet aortic valve and progressive, hemodynamically severe AS despite ...
