Wound healing and hypertrophic scarring are affected by biomechanical forces in the extracellular matrix, but how structural alterations at the nano- and microscale are linked to mechanics is not clear. Here, we study the nanoscale mechanics of keloids (linked to hypertrophic scarring), using in situ SAXS with micromechanics.
