The importance of our method lies in its ability to answer the question, what are the viscoelastic properties of zonular fibers, the fibers that suspend the lens inside the eye? The main advantage of our technique is that it can quantify the visco

The protocol describes a method for the study of extracellular matrix viscoelasticity and its dependence on protein composition or environmental factors. The matrix system targeted is the mouse zonule. The performance of the method is demonstrated by comparing the viscoelastic behavior of wild-type zonular fibers with those lacking microfibril-associated glycoprotein-1.
