OverviewAI-generated summary
Gustavo Vaca-Diez's research focuses on developing and utilizing microphysiological systems, specifically valve-on-chip models, to study the progression of calcific aortic valve disease. His work investigates the roles of cell cycle progression, cholesterol metabolism, and protein homeostasis in the early stages of this condition. Additionally, he explores how physiological and pathological strain affects valve cells within these engineered systems, aiming to identify mechanosensitive pathways involved in disease development.
Vaca-Diez has authored several publications on these topics, with his most recent work published in 2024. He collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Kartik Balachandran, Ishita Tandon, Alan E. Woessner, and Jin-Woo Kim. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 2, with a total of 7 publications and 42 citations.
