Matrix Gla protein negatively regulates calcification of human aortic valve interstitial cells isolated from calcified aortic valves
Calcified aortic valve stenosis (CAS) is a common heart valve disease in elderly people, and is mostly accompanied by ectopic valve calcification. We recently demonstrated that tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induces calcification of human aortic valve interstitial cells (HAVICs) obtained from CAS p...
