A novel restorative pulmonary valved conduit in a chronic sheep model: Mid-term hemodynamic function and histologic assessment.

TLDR
Both conduits demonstrated an acceptable safety and functionality and significant calcification was rarely observed in the XPV, whereas the H developed more neointimal thickness with calcification of the porcine aortic root portion of the wall.

Challenges With the Development of Biomaterials for Sustainable Tissue Engineering

TL;DR: It is argued here that a traditional ‘scaffold’ represents the wrong approach, and that tissue-engineering templates that are designed to replicate the niche, or microenvironment, of these target cells are much more likely to succeed.

Next-generation tissue-engineered heart valves with repair, remodelling and regeneration capacity

TL;DR: An unmet clinical need remains for valve replacements with regenerative, remodelling and growth potential, and next-generation tissue-engineered heart valves (TEHVs) are a promising therapeutic option for patients with valvular heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrophage-Driven Biomaterial Degradation Depends on Scaffold Microarchitecture.

TL;DR: Electrospun poly-ε-caprolactone-bisurea scaffolds with either 2 or 6 μm isotropic or anisotropic fibers were seeded with THP-1 derived human macrophages and cultured in vitro for 4 or 8 days, revealing that macroph age-induced oxidative degradation in particular was dependent on scaffold microarchitecture.

Preclinical Assessment of Cardiac Valve Substitutes: Current Status and Considerations for Engineered Tissue Heart Valves

TL;DR: The regulatory framework for regulation of medical devices in general and substitute heart valves in particular is reviewed, and the special challenges of preclinical testing using animal models for TEHV are considered.

Can We Grow Valves Inside the Heart? Perspective on Material-based In Situ Heart Valve Tissue Engineering.

TL;DR: It is argued that a combination of basic science – unveiling the mechanisms of the human body to respond to the implanted biomaterial under (patho)physiological conditions – and technological advancements – relating to the development of next generation materials and the prediction of in situ tissue growth and adaptation – is essential to take the next step towards a realistic and rewarding translation ofIn situ heart valve tissue engineering.

Reversible Polymers Formed from Self-Complementary Monomers Using Quadruple Hydrogen Bonding

TL;DR: 2-ureido-4-pyrimidone that dimerize strongly in a self-complementary array of four cooperative hydrogen bonds were used as the associating end group in reversible self-assembling polymer systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

From supramolecular chemistry towards constitutional dynamic chemistry and adaptive chemistry

TL;DR: Supramolecular chemistry considers chemical objects and systems capable of responding to external solicitations by modification of their constitution through component exchange or reorganisation, and opens the way towards an adaptive and evolutive chemistry, a further step towards the chemistry of complex matter.

Functional Living Trileaflet Heart Valves Grown In Vitro

TL;DR: In vitro generation of implantable complete living heart valves based on a biomimetic flow culture system that functioned up to 5 months and resembled normal heart valves in microstructure, mechanical properties, and extracellular matrix formation.

Late-term results of tissue-engineered vascular grafts in humans

TL;DR: Tissue-engineered vascular grafts can be used as conduits in patients with single ventricle physiology and further follow-up and investigation for the mechanism of stenosis are warranted.
