## Abstract This study focuses on the development of a novel method of nonenzymatic glycation of fibrillar collagen gels. In contrast to previous studies in which type I collagen gels were glycated in the solid state, this study presents a method for glycation in solution. The type I collagen in so

## Abstract Nonβenzymatic glycation of type I collagen occurs in aging and diabetes, and may affect collagen solubility, charge, polymerization, and intermolecular interactions. Proteoglycans^1^ (PGs) bind type I collagen and are proposed to regulate fibril assembly, function, and cellβcollagen int
## Abstract To function properly in the rigorous tissue environment, implanted scaffolds for tissue engineering are required to meet certain standards of strength and mechanical integrity. However, the soft nature and moisture condition of biomaterials impose great challenges to many existing techn
