Static and dynamic nanomechanical properties of human skin tissue using atomic force microscopy: Effect of scarring in the upper dermis.

no === Following traumatic injury, skin has the capacity to repair itself through a complex cascade of biochemical change. The dermis, which contains a load-bearing collagenous network structure, is remodelled over a long period of time, affecting its mechanical behaviour. This study examines the na...
