Development of methods for the tissue engineering of cardiac valves using mesenchymal stem cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Cardiac valve replacement is the second most common heart operation in the Western World. Valve replacements currently available are poorly adapted for use in young patients who typically require multiple re-operations as they grow, resulting in ...

Valves

open access: yes, 2008
This chapter focuses on several factors that need to be considered during the selection of valves and actuators. One of the factors is that a valve satisfactory in one location might not be satisfactory in another location even if conditions are only ...

Selective Inhibition of Integrin β3 Topology Provides a Safer Antithrombotic Strategy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Current integrin αIIbβ3 inhibitors effectively reduce thrombosis but also increase bleeding risk. During thrombosis, high shear blood flow can directly activate the integrin αIIbβ3 via a distinct topological change in the β3 transmembrane domain, independent of hemostatic platelet signaling.
