Is staphylococcus aureus cell envelope antigen a new candidate for the induction of IgA nephropathy?
S. aureus cell envelope antigen is a new candidate for the induction of IgA nephropathy.
These results indicate that oxygen tension may be a key parameter for the achievement of sufficient tissue quality and mechanical integrity in tissue-engineered heart valves. Engineered tissues of such strength, based on rapid-degrading polymers, have not been achieved to date. These findings bring the potential use of tissue-engineered heart valves for systemic applications a step closer and represent an important improvement in heart valve tissue engineering.
