Sex-Specific Remodeling Phenotypes of the Tricuspid Valve Leaflets in an Ovine Model of Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation

This study investigates sex-specific tricuspid valve leaflet remodeling in an ovine model of functional tricuspid regurgitation, revealing distinct structural, mechanical, and transcriptional responses across sexes and castration status.

The Mechanical and Biological Evolution of Pressure Ulcer Formation and Healing in Mice

This study investigates the mechanical and biological changes in mouse pressure ulcers over time, showing how tissue deformation, inflammation, and collagen remodeling co-evolve during ulcer formation and healing.

Tricuspid valve leaflet remodeling in sheep with biventricular heart failure: A comparison between leaflets

This study compares tricuspid valve leaflet remodeling in a sheep model of biventricular heart failure, finding that the anterior leaflet undergoes the most significant changes while the septal and posterior leaflets show less pronounced but similar remodeling.
