Coherent X-ray diffraction from collagenous soft tissues.
Coherent X-ray diffraction has been applied in the imaging of inorganic materials with great success. However, its application to biological specimens has been limited to some notable exceptions, due to the induced radiation damage and the extended nature of biological samples, the last limiting the application of most part of the phasing algorithms. X-ray ptychography, still under development,...
متن کاملCollagenous and non-collagenous protein com- ponents of skeletal tissues
cellular matrix: in ligaments and tendons, in muscle fiber composition and in the structure and quantity of bone mass. As a result of these alterations in extracellular matrix composition, the elderly typically display thinned skin that is more susceptible to injury, diminished muscle bulk that results in weakness that magnifies the effects of neurologic degeneration on gait and posture, and di...
متن کاملStrain-induced stiffening of nanocellulose-reinforced poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogels mimicking collagenous soft tissues.
Soft tissues possess remarkable mechanical strength for their high water content, which is hard to mimic in synthetic materials. Here, we demonstrate how strain-induced stiffening in hydrogels plays a major role in mimicking the mechanical properties of collagenous soft tissues. In particular, nanocellulose reinforced polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels of exceptionally high water content (90-93 ...
متن کاملQuantification of Interfibrillar Shear Stress in Aligned Soft Collagenous Tissues via Notch Tension Testing
The mechanical function of soft collagenous tissues is largely determined by their hierarchical organization of collagen molecules. While collagen fibrils are believed to be discontinuous and transfer load through shearing of the interfibrillar matrix, interfibrillar shear stresses have never been quantified. Scaling traditional shear testing procedures down to the fibrillar length scale is imp...
متن کاملFatigue Modeling of Collagenous Soft Tissue
In this study, a phenomenological tissue damage model has been developed to describe the fatigue-induced stress softening and permanent set of biological tissues. Since damage evolution is an irreversible dissipative process, following thermodynamic principles, an equivalent strain proportional to the strain energy of the material is employed as the damage criterion. The maximum equivalent stra...
