Effect of Age and Proteoglycan Deficiency on Collagen Fiber Re Alignment and Mechanical Properties in Mouse Supraspinatus Tendon
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Collagen fiber realignment is one mechanism by which tendon responds to load. Realignment is altered when the structure of tendon is altered, such as in the natural process of aging or with alterations of matrix proteins, ...
Regulatory Role of Collagen XI in the Establishment of Mechanical Properties of Tendons and Ligaments in Mice Is Tissue Dependent
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Collagen XI is ubiquitous in tissues such as joint cartilage, cancellous bone, muscles, and tendons and is an important contributor during a crucial part in fibrillogenesis. The COL11A1 gene encodes one of three alpha ...
Validation of an Empirical Damage Model for Aging and in Vivo Injury of the Murine Patellar Tendon
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While useful models have been proposed to predict the mechanical impact of damage in tendon and other soft tissues, the applicability of these models for describing in vivo injury and agerelated degeneration has not been ...
