The study investigated the relationship between the histological compositions of the tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, and aortic valves, and age. All 85 fresh human hearts were obtained with an age range between 20 and 90 years. The central area of the ...
pH fluctuations within the extracellular matrix (ECM) and its principal constituent collagen, particularly in solid tumors and chronic wounds, may influence its structure and function. Whereas previous research examined the impact of pH on collagen f...

Scar tissue is connective tissue formed on the wound during the wound-healing process. The most significant distinction between scar tissue and normal tissue is the appearance of covalent cross-linking and the amount of collagen fibers in the tissue....
The role of fibrillar collagen in the tissue microenvironment is critical in disease contexts ranging from cancers to chronic inflammations, as evidenced by many studies. Quantifying fibrillar collagen organization has become a powerful approach for ...

Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in humans, providing crucial mechanical properties, including high strength and toughness, in tissues. Collagen-based biomaterials are, therefore, used for tissue repair and regeneration. Utilizing col...
Collagen is one of the most important structural proteins in biology, and its structural hierarchy plays a crucial role in many mechanically important biomaterials. Here, we demonstrate how transformer models can be used to predict, directly from the...
Microstructural features and mechanical properties are closely related in all soft biological tissues. Both yet exhibit considerable inter-individual differences and are affected by factors such as aging and disease and its progression. Histological ...
While essential to our understanding of solid tumor progression, the study of cell and tissue mechanics has yet to find traction in the clinic. Determining tissue stiffness, a mechanical property known to promote a malignant phenotype in vitro and in...
Pelvic organ prolapse is a worldwide health problem to elderly women. Understanding its pathogenesis and an ideal animal model are crucial to developing promising treatments. The present study aimed to investigate new clinical significance and detail...
