Contribution of Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 to Aortic Valve Calcification in Aged Rat
Although aging is well established as an important risk factor for aortic stenosis, the mechanism of age-related aortic valve calcification is yet unknown. Here, we investigated this mechanism in tissue and cellular levels using middle-aged rats. Aortic valve specimens were obtained by dissecting fr...
