Combined experimental matrix analysis and computational modeling study to understand how AGE-mediated collagen cross-links affect ECM architecture and mechanical properties. The research involved detailed analysis of collagen fiber properties including fiber length, interconnectivity, and heterogeneity in AGE-modified matrices. Computational models were developed to predict how these structural changes translate to enhanced viscoelastic properties. The study demonstrated that AGE-bundled collagen matrices have lower interconnectivity, shorter fiber lengths, and greater heterogeneity, which mechanistically explains the enhanced viscoelasticity.
