PROBLEM: Question: Does alteration of inflammatory response by shock wave therapy lead to reduced calcification of decellularized aortic xenografts in mice†?
Answer: SWs reduce the calcification of subcutaneously implanted decellularized xenografts via the modulation of the acute macrophage-mediated inflammatory response and improves the in vitro repopulation of decellularized grafts. It may therefore serve as a feasible adjunct to heart valve tissue engineering.

SOLUTION:
yes
