Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There is growing interest in the development of cell culture assays that enable the rigidity of the extracellular matrix to be increased. A promising approach is based on three-dimensional collagen type I matrices that are stiffened by cross-linking through non-enzymatic glycation with reducing sugars. METHODS: The present study evaluated the biomechanical changes in the non-enzymatically glycated...
