Biological Niches within Human Calcified Aortic Valves: Towards Understanding of the Pathological Biomineralization Process
Despite recent advances, mineralization site, its microarchitecture, and composition in calcific heart valve remain poorly understood. A multiscale investigation, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), from mi...
