Nano-Scale Stiffness and Collagen Fibril Deterioration:Probing the Cornea Following Enzymatic Degradation Using Peakforce-QNM AFM

Under physiological conditions, the cornea is exposed to various enzymes, some of them have digestive actions, such as amylase and collagenase that may change the ultrastructure (collagen morphology) and sequentially change the mechanical response of the cornea and distort vision, such as in keratoc...
