Multi-Scale Biomechanical Remodeling in Aging and Genetic Mutant Murine Mitral Valve Leaflets: Insights into Marfan Syndrome

Mitral valve degeneration is a key component of the pathophysiology of Marfan syndrome. The biomechanical consequences of aging and genetic mutation in mitral valves are poorly understood because of limited tools to study this in mouse models. Our aim was to determine the global biomechanical and lo...
