In fibrotic diseases, collagen is overexpressed, and its production determines the formation of a significantly stiffer ECM. The cross-linking of high-resolution analytical tools, able to investigate both the tridimensional organization and the secondary structure of collagen in fibrotic diseases, could be useful to identify defined markers correlating the status of this protein with specific pathological conditions.
