Freeze-drying of cardiac valves in preparation for cellular repopulation.

Author(s) : CURTIL A., PEGG D. E., WILSON A.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The study was the inital step in the development of a method designed to repopulate the substance of the freeze-dried valve with fibroblasts and the lumenal surface with endothelial cells. The paper describes the production of appropriate porosity in freeze-dried porcine pulmonary valve leaflets. The resulting method provides a basis for studies of cell colonization.
