Mechanistic Roles of Matrilin-2 and Klotho in Modulating the Inflammatory Activity of Human Aortic Valve Cells
Background: Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a chronic inflammatory disease. Soluble extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins can act as damage-associated molecular patterns and may induce valvular inflammation. Matrilin-2 is an ECM protein and has been found to elevate the pro-osteogenic activity...
