A Three-Dimensional Collagen-Elastin Scaffold for Heart Valve Tissue Engineering

Since most of the body’s extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of collagen and elastin, we believe the choice of these materials is key for the future and promise of tissue engineering. Once it is known how elastin content of ECM guides cellular behavior (in 2D or 3D), one will be able to...
