Bimodal collagen fibril diameter distributions direct age-related variations in tendon resilience and resistance to rupture

Bimodal collagen fibril diameter distributions direct age-related variations in tendon resilience and resistance to rupture

Scaling relationships have been formulated to investigate the influence of collagen fibril diameter (D) on age-related variations in the strain energy density of tendon. Transmission electron microscopy was used to quantify D in tail tendon from 1.7- to 35.3-mo-old (C57BL/6) male mice. Frequency his...
