Fig. 3

a The micromechanical profile (blue) was comparable to those of control healthy tissues of the same age (4 months after irradiation) (grey). b The histological analysis showed denser deposition of ECM (*) in an X-ray-responding animal (left) accompanied by increasing of stiffness. Histology on the bladder with no stiffening (right) revealed absence of fibrotic damage (4 months after irradiation).
