Key parameters affect spatial gradient of collagen deposition. (A) Sensitivity coefficients calculated based on Equation (11) with individual parameter perturbations of 0.1×. State variable outputs include total collagen area fraction, global semivariance, semivariance in the x direction, and semivariance in the y direction. Collagen area fraction heat maps at 6 weeks with (B) all parameters at baseline, (C) kgen,IL−1β parameter multiplied by 0.1, and (D) Kd,TGFβ parameter multiplied by 0.1.
