Bmp2 instructs cardiac progenitors to form the heart-valve-inducing field [PDF]
, 2006 A hallmark of heart-valve development is the swelling and deposition of extracellular matrix in the heart-valve region. Only myocardium overlying this region can signal to underlying endothelium and cause it to lose cell–cell contacts, delaminate, and ...

Biofilm Control by Active Topography with Mucin Coating
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study reports a new antifouling strategy based on a bioinspired design. Mucin coating enhances biofilm control by active topography with beating micron‐sized pillars. Besides the mechanical force of beating pillars, the antibiofilm activities also involve biological factors since mucin coating inhibits swarming motility and c‐di‐GMP synthesis in ...

Eigenhearts for diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF) [PDF]
, 2006 Common cardiac diseases such as cardio-myopathy, coronary artery diseases, and valve diseases, result in abnormal myocardial movement, which could eventually lead to heart failure, also called congestive heart failure (CHF). CHF is a disease in which the

Flow‐Induced Vascular Remodeling on‐Chip: Implications for Anti‐VEGF Therapy
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Flow‐induced vascular remodeling plays a critical role in network stabilization and function. Using a vasculature‐on‐chip system, this study reveals how physiological VEGF levels and flow affect vascular remodeling and provides insights into tumor vessel normalization.

Fabrication and In Vitro Characterization of a Tissue Engineered PCL-PLLA Heart Valve
Scientific Reports, 2018 Heart valve diseases are among the leading causes of cardiac failure around the globe. Nearly 90,000 heart valve replacements occur in the USA annually. Currently, available options for heart valve replacement include bioprosthetic and mechanical valves,

Innovative Modeling of Outcome in Cardiac Surgery [PDF]
, 2013 In the normal heart both left and right ventricle have a valve at the atrio-ventricular connection and at the ventriculo-arterial connection. In the left ventricle the inflow valve is the mitral valve and the outflow valve is the aortic valve.

Loss of β-catenin promotes chondrogenic differentiation of aortic valve interstitial cells [PDF]
, 2014 OBJECTIVE: The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway has been implicated in human heart valve disease and is required for early heart valve formation in mouse and zebrafish.
