We use SHG microscopy to study the collagen alterations in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in ex vivo human tissues and in vitro spheroid models. We found the collagen fibril and macromolecular structures are altered in IPF, consistent with decreased organization. Further, machine learning based texture analysis successfully classified the fiber morphology at near 100% accuracy. To gain insight into the underlying mechanisms of these alterations, we grew IPF based spheroids under different crosslinking conditions (increased or inhibited). SHG polarization measurements (linear and SHG-CD) indicated that increased crosslinking altered the collagen helical structure similar to those of the human tissues.
