Identification of quantitative second-harmonic generation imaging metrics for collagenous tissue
… capability. It is applied to various unstained collagenous specimens to explore the microstructure. Since collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in biological tissue, understanding its spatial organizational structure could lend insight into its intrinsic mechanical properties and thus …

Turkey-leg-tendon : a model system for collagen mineralisation
… which can arise leading to unhealthy ageing of collagenous tissue. These were explored using Raman spectroscopy and in vitro mineralisation with SBF, micro-CT imaging (chemical analysis), and uniaxial tensile loading and video gauge (VG) imaging (mechanical tests). The results showed there were …

Second-harmonic generation-based Mueller matrix polarization analysis of collagen-rich tissues
… of the properties of fibrillar collagen in tissue can yield deeper insight into structure-function correlations of the cell and its surrounding matrix. Second-harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy is especially well-suited as an image acquisition technique, due to its specificity to the …

Polarization-dependent nonlinear optical microscopy methods for the analysis of crystals and biological tissues
… analysis of collagen structures in biological tissues, where local-frame second order susceptibility tensors were solved for every pixel within an image of collagenous tissue and combined with ab initio modeling to assess internal ordering of collagen fibers in different tissue types.</p>

Muscle Architecture and Structural Model of the Human Tongue
… The ""dark"" areas in MRI slices were muscle and collagenous tissue, whereas the ""bright"" areas were adipose tissue. On the other hand, the intra- and intersectional distortions in the histologic sections seemed to be unavoidable and existed with unpredictable patterns. Additionally, the courses …

Diffusional Properties of Articular Cartilage
Articular cartilage is the connective tissue that lines joints and provides a smooth surface for articulation and shock absorption. Osteoarthritis, the progressive degeneration of cartilage, is a painful, debilitating, and widespread disease, affecting 70% of people over 65. Because cartilage is …

Design, manufacture and commissioning of a low pressure quasistatic bulge tester for skin and membrane tissue
… locally in South Africa for testing biological tissue. The difficulties of testing the material properties of skin are the non-uniformity and anisotropy across specimen location and subjects. This anisotropy is most commonly measured by tensile testing of samples cut in different orientations. …

Damaged Collagen Detection and A Novel Approach to 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Reactivity: Research at the Interface of Chemistry and Biology
… dye enables the facile detection of burned collagenous tissue with high specificity. The ubiquity of collagen and the prevalence of injuries and diseases that disrupt endogenous collagen suggests widespread utility for this approach. Chapter 3. A Cyclic Peptide Mimetic of Damaged Collagen. …
