Collagen fibril morphology and organization: implications for force transmission in ligament and tendon

PP Provenzano, R Vanderby Jr - Matrix biology, 2006 - Elsevier
Connective tissue mechanical behavior is primarily determined by the composition and
organization of collagen. In ligaments and tendons, type I collagen is the principal structural …

Effect of altered matrix proteins on quasilinear viscoelastic properties in transgenic mouse tail tendons

DM Elliott, PS Robinson, JA Gimbel, JJ Sarver… - Annals of biomedical …, 2003 - Springer
Tendons have complex mechanical behaviors that are viscoelastic, nonlinear, and
anisotropic. It is widely held that these behaviors are provided for by the tissue's composition …

Strain-rate sensitive mechanical properties of tendon fascicles from mice with genetically engineered alterations in collagen and decorin

PS Robinson, TW Lin, PR Reynolds… - J. Biomech …, 2004 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
Tendons have complex mechanical behaviors that are nonlinear and time dependent. It is
widely held that these behaviors are provided by the tissue's composition and structure. It is …

Effect of dermatan sulfate glycosaminoglycans on the quasi‐static material properties of the human medial collateral ligament

TJ Lujan, CJ Underwood, HB Henninger… - Journal of …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
The glycosaminoglycan of decorin, dermatan sulfate (DS), has been suggested to contribute
to the mechanical properties of soft connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons. This …

Investigating tendon fascicle structure–function relationships in a transgenic-age mouse model using multiple regression models

PS Robinson, TW Lin, AF Jawad, RV Iozzo… - Annals of biomedical …, 2004 - Springer
Proper replacement or repair of damaged tendons or ligaments requires functionally
engineered tissue that mimics their native mechanical properties. While tendon structure …
