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

In situ heart valve tissue engineering using cell-free synthetic, biodegradable scaffolds is under development as a clinically attractive approach to create living valves right inside the heart of a patient. In this approach, a valve-shaped porous scaffold “implant” is rapidly populated by endogenou...
