Tissue engineered lamb heart valve leaflets ( N -3) were constructed by repeatedly seeding a concentrated suspension of autologous myofibroblasts onto a biodegradable synthetic polymeric scaffold composed of fibers made from polyglycolic acid and polylactic acid. Over a 2-week period the cells attac

## Abstract Heart valve disease is a significant cause of mortality worldwide. However, to date, a nonthrombogenic, noncalcific prosthetic, which maintains normal valve mechanical properties and hemodynamic flow, and exhibits sufficient fatigue properties has not been designed. Current prosthetic d
## Abstract Valve replacement is the most common surgical treatment in patients with advanced valvular heart disease. Mechanical and bioβprostheses have been the traditional heart valve replacements in these patients. However, currently the heart valves for replacement therapy are imperfect and sub
## Abstract __Background:__ Bioprosthetic heart valves still suffer from calcification. In the department of Cryobiology & Biomaterials, we have established an in vitro calcification test method which is suitable for the investigation of calcification patterns of heart valves. In a modified test pr
