Abstract:Upon implanting tissue-engineered heart valves (TEHVs), blood-derived macrophages are believed to orchestrate the remodeling process. They initiate the immune response and mediate the remodeling of the TEHV, essential for the valve’s functionality. The exact role of another macrophage type, the tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs), has not been yet elucidated even though they maintain the homeostasis of native tissues. Here, we characterized the response of hTRM-like cells in contact with a human tissue engineer… Show more
