Induced corneal collagen crosslinking and mechanical stiffening via ultraviolet-A
photoactivation of riboflavin (UVA CXL) is now a common treatment for corneal ectasia and …

Since the introduction of femtosecond laser (FS) systems for corneal flap creation in laser-
assisted in-situ keratomileusis there have been numerous applications for FS laser in …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are bio-based nanoparticles that, under the right conditions,
self-align into chiral nematic liquid crystals with a helical pitch. In this work, we exploit the …

In every biological tissue, morphological and topological properties strongly affect its
mechanical features and behaviour, so that ultrastructure, composition and mechanical …

Purpose: To investigate the corneal densitometry in subclinical keratoconus with normal
elevation and pachymetric parameters. Methods: Patients with clinical keratoconus in one …

Abstract Two-photon (2P) microscopy is a powerful tool for imaging and exploring label-free
biological tissues at high resolution. Although this type of microscopy has been …

Collagen fibers play a central role in normal eye mechanics and pathology. In ocular tissues,
collagen fibers exhibit a complex 3‐dimensional (3D) fiber orientation, with both in‐plane …

The human cornea is mainly composed of collagen fibrils aligned together within stacked
lamellae. This lamellar structure can be affected in pathologies such as keratoconus, which …

Several specific alterations of the extracellular matrix can be considered a distinctive
hallmark of cancer. In particular, a different morphology of the collagen scaffold is frequently …

Imaging tissue samples by polarization‐resolved second harmonic generation microscopy
provides both qualitative and quantitative insights into collagen organization in a label‐free …
