TLDR
A fibrous valvular scaffold is designed, fabricated from a novel supramolecular elastomer, that enables endogenous cells to enter and produce matrix and offer new perspectives for endogenous heart valve replacement starting from a readily-available synthetic graft that is compatible with surgical and transcatheter implantation procedures.

Computational modeling guides tissue-engineered heart valve design for long-term in vivo performance in a translational sheep model

TL;DR: The hypothesis that integration of a computationally inspired heart valve design into TE methodologies could guide tissue remodeling toward long-term functionality in tissue-engineered heart valves (TEHVs) is tested and suggests the relevance of an integrated in silico, in vitro, and in vivo bioengineering approach as a basis for the safe and efficient clinical translation of TEHVs.

Improved quantitation and discrimination of sulphated glycosaminoglycans by use of dimethylmethylene blue

TL;DR: A modified form of the dim methylmethylene blue assay is described that has improved specificity for sulphated glycosaminoglycans, and it is shown that in conjunction with specific polysaccharidases, the dimethylmethyleneblue assay can be used to quantitate individual sulphated sugarcans.

Outcomes 15 years after valve replacement with a mechanical versus a bioprosthetic valve: final report of the Veterans Affairs randomized trial.

TL;DR: At 15 years, patients undergoing AVR had a better survival with a mechanical valve than with a bioprosthetic valve, largely because primary valve failure was virtually absent with mechanical valve.
