FIG. 6. — Development of the nonlinear stiffness measured by the differential modulus. (a) Representative strain dependency of the differential modulus of collagen and Matrigel at 100% strain highlights the strain stiffening for larger strains. (b) Cycle dependency of the normalized differential modulus. (c) and (d) Development of the absolute differential modulus (c) and the normalized differential modulus (d) against the maximal strain highlights the increased stiffness of collagen compared to Matrigel.
