Osteopontin activity modulates sex‐specific calcification in engineered valve tissue mimics

Abstract Patients with aortic valve stenosis (AVS) have sexually dimorphic phenotypes in their valve tissue, where male valvular tissue adopts a calcified phenotype and female tissue becomes more fibrotic. The molecular mechanisms that regulate sex‐specific calcification in valvular tissue remain po...
