In response to this critical need for a better heart valve substitute, we aim to develop a multifunctional scaffold that ideally mimics a native heart valve in mechanical properties, serves as a growth factor and cytokine delivery vehicle, and supports cell attachment and proliferation through tissue engineering. An innovative technique known as micro-integration, involving simultaneous electrospraying...
