Abstract: Venous valve incompetence has been implicated in diseases ranging from chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) to intracranial venous hypertension. However, while the mechanical properties of venous valve leaflet tissues are central to CVI biomechanics and mechanobiology,… read more here.

Abstract: The atrioventricular heart valve (AHV) leaflets have a complex microstructure composed of four distinct layers: atrialis, ventricularis, fibrosa and spongiosa. Specifically, the spongiosa layer is primarily proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Quantification of the GAGs' mechanical… read more here.
