The influence of fibrillin‐1 and physical activity upon tendon tissue morphology and mechanical properties in mice

Abstract Fibrillin‐1 mutations cause pathological changes in connective tissue that constitute the complex phenotype of Marfan syndrome. In this study, we used fibrillin‐1 hypomorphic and haploinsufficient mice (Fbn1mgr/mgR and Fbn1+/− mice, respectively) to investigate the impact of fibrillin‐1 def...
