Collagen fibrils from both positional and energy-storing tendons exhibit increased amounts of denatured collagen when stretched beyond the yield point
Collagen molecules are the base structural unit of tendons, which become denatured during
mechanical overload. We recently demonstrated that during tendon stretch, collagen …
