Fibrillar organization in tendons: A pattern revealed by percolation characteristics of the respective geometric network
Since the tendon is composed by collagen fibrils of various sizes connected between them through molecular cross-links, it sounds logical to model it via a heterogeneous network of fibrils. Using cross sectional images, that network is operatively inferred from the respective Gabriel graph of the fi...
