Although the structure and composition of collagen have been studied by polarized light
microscopy since the early 19th century, many studies and reviews have paid little or no …

Accurate and rapid diagnosis of breast cancer is particularly important since it becomes the
primary malignant tumor threatening women's health. Although pathological diagnosis with …

Most frequently used structure-based constitutive models of arterial wall apply assumptions
on two symmetric helical (and dispersed) fibre families which, however, are not well …

Abstract Knowledge of soft tissue fiber structure is necessary for accurate characterization
and modeling of their mechanical response. Fiber configuration and structure informs both …

Skin samples were used to compare microscopy methods used to quantify collagen with
potential applicability to resolve time-dependent collagen deposition during skin wound …

Collagen fiber arrangement is decisive for constitutive description of anisotropic mechanical
response of arterial wall. In this study, their orientation in human common carotid artery was …

A novel method for semiautomated assessment of directions of collagen fibers in soft tissues
using histological image analysis is presented. It is based on multiple rotated images …

Mechanical responses of materials undergoing large elastic deformations can exhibit a loss
of stability in several ways. Such a situation can occur when a thin-walled cylinder is inflated …

Alterations in dermal collagen are noted in dermatofibroma, dermatofibrosarcoma
protuberans, morphea, lichen sclerosus et atrophicus, hypertrophic scars, and keloids. The …

The paradigm shift brought about by the expansion of tissue engineering and regenerative
medicine away from the use of biomaterials, currently questions the value of histopathologic …
