Shear Stress Quantification in Tissue Engineering Bioreactor Heart Valves: A Computational Approach
Tissue-engineered heart valves can grow, repair, and remodel after implantation, presenting a more favorable long-term solution compared to mechanical and porcine valves. Achieving functional engineered valve tissue requires the maturation of human cells
