Tendon exhibits complex poroelastic behavior at the nanoscale as revealed by high-frequency AFM-based rheology
Tendons transmit load from muscle to bone by utilizing their unique static and viscoelastic tensile properties. These properties are highly dependent on the composition and structure of the tissue matrix, including the collagen I hierarchy, proteoglycans, and water. While the role of matrix constitu...
