Relationship between fibre orientation and tensile strength of natural collagen membranes for heart valve leaflets [PDF]
, 2011 Heart valve prostheses are used to replace native heart valves which that are damaged because of congenital diseases or due to ageing. Biological prostheses made of bovine pericardium are similar to native valves and do not require any anticoagulation ...

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.

Precursor Mineral Phases of Forming Mollusk Shell Nacre: A Study of Hydrated Samples
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Mineral, organic phase, and water are the essential components in mollusk shell nacre formation. Their interplay is not well understood, because the hydrated material is difficult to observe at high resolution, under close to native conditions. Forming nacre is studied using environmental and cryo‐electron microscopy and hydrated ACC phases, together ...
