Abstract
226Tissue engineered heart valves are constructed for the purpose of designing replacement heart valves (most often from decellularized tissues or polymer scaffolds) as well as for generating models of valve disease. The disease models, often fabricated using either natural or synthetic gel materials, enable investigators to elucidate disease mechanisms in the effort to identify new therapies.
