Bio-mechanical Properties of Novel Bi-layer Collagen-Elastin Scaffolds for Heart Valve Tissue Engineering

Collagen and elastin are two major components of the extracellular matrix of heart valves. This work examines bi-layer scaffolds made of collagen and elastin for potential use in the tissue engineering of heart valves, by investigating the effects of the layered structure on the mechanical and biolo...
