Abstract

. There was a delay in the differentiation of BMSCs into osteoblasts. The decellularized valve modified by nanoparticles remained intact and its collagen fibers were continuous. After 8 weeks of subcutaneous implantation in rats, the morphological structure of the valve was almost complete, and the composite valve showed anti-calcification ability to a certain extent.
