Multiscale investigation of collagen structure in human skin and gel matrices using polarization resolved second harmonic generation microscopy by Mengyao Zhou, Madalena Pinto Gomes, Anouk Elgersma, H. Ibrahim Korkmaz, Bouke K. H. L. Boekema, Marie Louise Groot

“…Abnormal collagen organization, such as in fibrosis or scar tissue, compromises both skin functionality and aesthetics. In this study, we employed label-free polarization resolved second harmonic generation (PSHG) microscopy to investigate collagen structure in artificial collagen matrices with various Col I/III ratios at the fibril scale ( $$\sim$$ ∼ 1 to $$3\,\upmu \hbox {m}$$ 3 μ m ) and in ex vivo human healthy and scarred skin at the fiber scale ( $$\sim 10$$ ∼ 10 to $$20\,\upmu \hbox {m}$$ 20 μ m ). …”
