We propose a new optical method to indicate cross-sectional profile of the collagen fiber orientation in human tissues. This method is based on depth-resolved polarization measurement of ...

The type I collagen monomer is one of nature’s most exquisite and prevalent structural tools. Its 300 nm triple-helical motifs assemble into tough extracellular fibers that transition seamlessly ...

Cardiac tissue engineering could be useful for replacement and/or repair of diseased or malformed cardiac tissue. The creation of functional, biocompatible contractile tissues, however, remains ...

Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a powerful blind source separation method that can be used for nonpara-metric partial volume mixture modeling in a variety of high-dimensional medical imaging ...

DHM offers a promising regenerative therapy for the heart due to the intrinsic properties of the native tissue microenvironment. DHM is comprised primarily of extracellular matrix proteins and ...

Previously, we found that oral autologous artificial connective tissue (AACT) had a different protein secretion profile to that of clot-embedded AACT. Other oral mucosa substitutes, having different ...
