Physiological mechanical forces accelerate the degradation of bovine lung collagen fibers by bacterial collagenase

Abstract Collagen fibers, one of the key load-bearing components of the extracellular matrix, contribute significantly to tissue integrity through their mechanical properties of strain-dependent stiffening. This study investigated the effects of bacterial collagenase on the mechanical behavior of in...
