Mechanical behavior of tissue-engineered heart valves still needs improvement when native aortic valves are considered as a benchmark [1]. Research showed that mechanical stimulation of tissue-engineered heart valves improved tissue properties [2], although a complete understanding of the effect of loading on tissue development has not been established yet.
