Internal strain drives spontaneous periodic buckling in collagen and regulates remodeling
Andrew Dittmore, Jonathan Silver, Susanta K Sarkar, Barry Marmer, Gregory I Goldberg, Keir C NeumanThis study investigated how collagen, a key structural protein, is remodeled. Researchers observed that the enzymes responsible for breaking down collagen, called MMPs, bind to specific, vulnerable spots that appear at…

Mechanical Strain Stabilizes Reconstituted Collagen Fibrils against Enzymatic Degradation by Mammalian Collagenase Matrix Metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8)
Brendan P Flynn, Amit P Bhole, Nima Saeidi, Melody Liles, Charles A DiMarzio, Jeffrey W RubertiThis laboratory study investigated how mechanical tension affects collagen's resistance to breakdown. Researchers created small networks of type I collagen fibers, gently stretching some while leaving others unloaded. B…
