Challenges in developing a reseeded, tissue-engineered aortic valve prosthesis [EXPERIMENTAL]
CONCLUSIONS
A comparison of different techniques for increasing interstitial repopulation of detergent dECM revealed that an additional limited trypsin treatment was most effective. Nevertheless, a complete interstitial repopulation of decellularized heart valves remains a challenging endeavour. Additional experimental fine-tuning may improve the in vitro results of heart valve tissue engineering.
