Frequency-modulated atomic force microscopy localises viscoelastic remodelling in the ageing sheep aorta

Age-related aortic stiffening is associated with cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure. The mechanical functions of the main structural components of the aorta, such as collagen and elastin, are determined in part by their organisation at the micrometer length scale. With age and disease bot...
