Biological tissues are not uniquely composed of cells. A substantial part of their volume is
extracellular space, which is primarily filled by an intricate network of macromolecules …

Diverse extracellular matrix patterns are observed in both normal and pathological tissue.
However, most current tools for quantitative analysis focus on a single aspect of matrix …

Second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy is acknowledged as an established
imaging technique capable to provide information on the collagen architecture in tissues that …

We start presenting an overview on recent applications of linear polymers and networks in
condensed matter physics, chemistry and biology by briefly discussing selected papers …

Multiphoton microscopy is a powerful, non-invasive technique to image biological
specimens. One current limitation of multiphoton microscopy is resolution as many of the …

New robust and reproducible differentiation approaches are needed to generate induced
pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes of specific subtypes in predictable …

Protein expression profiling in the serum is used to identify novel biomarkers and investigate
the signaling pathways in various diseases. The aim of the present study was to evaluate …

The perceived texture directionality is an important, not fully explored image characteristic. In
many applications texture directionality detection is of fundamental importance. Several …

Fibrillar collagens are prominent extracellular matrix (ECM) components, and their topology
changes have been shown to be associated with the progression of a wide range of …

The major obstacle in the commercialisation and clinical translation of tissue engineered
medicines is the required for the development of implantable tissue surrogates prolonged in …
