Резюме	Picrosirius red (acid red 80) is a direct dye for collagen that binds specifically to the triple helix structure of fibrillar collagens and allows direct visualization and quantification under light and polarized light microscopy. Introduced by Junqueira and colleagues in 1978, picrosirius red staining has become the gold standard for assessing collagen deposition and organization in tissue sections, scaffolds, and cell cultures. The key advantage is that picrosirius red-stained collagen exhibits birefringence under polarized light, enabling researchers to visualize not only the amount of collagen but also its degree of organization and fibril maturity—information crucial for evaluating bone, cartilage, skin, and tendon engineering.	Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) measures the viscoelastic properties of materials—their elastic stiffness and viscous damping—by applying a sinusoidal stress or strain and measuring the phase lag and amplitude of the material's response. Developed from rheology principles in the 1960s and formalized by Ferry, Schwarzl, and others, DMA provides quantitative measures of how polymeric biomaterials respond to time-dependent and frequency-dependent mechanical stimuli. Key outputs include the storage modulus (elastic component), loss modulus (viscous component), and loss tangent (tan δ), which together characterize the material's mechanical behavior across temperature and frequency ranges.
