A tendon transfers force from the contracting muscle to the skeletal system to produce
movement and is therefore a crucial component of the entire muscle‐tendon complex and its …

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are an important component of the extracellular matrix as they
influence cell behavior and have been sought for tissue regeneration, biomaterials, and …

Despite the critical role tendons play in transmitting loads throughout the musculoskeletal
system, little is known about the microstructural mechanisms underlying their mechanical …

The aging population is at an increased risk of tendon injury and tendinopathy. Elucidating
the molecular basis of tendon aging is crucial to understanding the age-related changes in …

Purpose.: We tested the hypothesis that there are age-and race-related differences in
posterior scleral material properties, using eyes from human donors of European (20–90 …

The structural dynamics of thin-walled parts vary as the material is removed during
machining. This paper presents a new, computationally efficient reduced order dynamic …

This review highlights recent research on structure–function relationships in tendon and
comments on the parallels between development and healing. The processes of tendon …

The proteoglycan decorin is known to affect both the fibrillogenesis and the resulting
ultrastructure of in vitro polymerized collagen gels. However, little is known about its effects …

The glycosaminoglycan (GAG) dermatan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate side-chains of small
leucine-rich proteoglycans have been increasingly posited to act as molecular cross links …

The viscoelastic properties of human ligament potentially guard against structural failure, yet
the microstructural origins of these transient behaviors are unknown. Glycosaminoglycans …
