Three-layered aortic valve tissue in histology and schema: HE, Alcian blue and Movat Pentachrom stain illustrate dominating ECM components in fibrosa, spongiosa and ventricularis layer of aortic valve leaflet covered with endothelial cells. Valvular interstitial cells are responsible for ECM maintenance in non-diseased tissue (Scale bar: 100 µm)
