Characterization of Cell Subpopulations Expressing Progenitor Cell Markers in Porcine Cardiac Valves
Valvular interstitial cells (VICs) are the main population of cells found in cardiac valves. These resident fibroblastic cells play important roles in maintaining proper valve function, and their dysregulation has been linked to disease progression in humans. Despite the critical functions of VICs,...
