Tropocollagen types I and III were simultaneously fibrilized in vitro, and the differences
between the geometric and mechanical properties of the heterotypic fibrils with different …

Arteries exhibit a remarkable ability to adapt to diverse genetic defects and sustained
alterations in mechanical loading. For example, changes in blood flow induced wall shear …

This chapter is written with an emphasis on the biomechanical role of collagen in normal
and diseased arterial walls, its structural quantification and its consideration in material …

The biomechanics of the optic nerve head is assumed to play an important role in ganglion
