Modulation of mechanical interactions by local piezoelectric effects
Piezoelectricity is a well-established property of biological materials, yet its functional role has remained unclear. Here, we demonstrate a mechanical effect of piezoelectric domains resulting from collagen fibril organisation, and describe its role in tissue function and application to material d...
