Collagen Fiber

Collagen fibers, a crucial component of the extracellular matrix, are the focus of intense research due to their critical role in various biological processes, including wound healing and muscle health. Current research utilizes advanced image analysis techniques, such as deep learning models (including convolutional neural networks and U-Nets) and traditional texture analysis, to quantify collagen fiber characteristics from histological images and MRI scans. These analyses aim to improve diagnostic accuracy and disease monitoring in conditions like muscular dystrophy and to better understand wound healing progression, ultimately leading to improved clinical management and treatment strategies.
