Force Spectroscopy of Collagen Fibers to Investigate Their Mechanical Properties and Structural Organization

Tendons are composed of collagen and other molecules in a highly organized hierarchical assembly, leading to extraordinary mechanical properties. To probe the cross-links on the lower level of organization, we used a cantilever to pull substructures out of the assembly. Advanced force probe technolo...
