Adverse structural and mechanical remodelling of main pulmonary artery in experimental pulmonary arterial hypertension is associated with impaired right ventricle-pulmonary artery coupling and function

This study examines structural and mechanical changes in the main pulmonary artery in pulmonary arterial hypertension and links them to impaired right ventricular function and coupling.

Characterization of pediatric porcine pulmonary valves as a model for tissue engineered heart valves

This study characterizes the mechanical, ECM, and cellular properties of pediatric porcine pulmonary valves to inform the design of biomimetic tissue-engineered heart valves.

High-frequency quantitative ultrasound to assess the acoustic properties of engineeredtissues in vitro

This paper uses high-frequency ultrasound to accurately measure acoustic properties of engineered tissues, showing that acoustic attenuation correlates with cell concentration.
