Postnatal changes to the mechanical properties of articular cartilage are driven by the evolution of its collagen network

While it is well established that the composition and organisation of articular cartilage dramatically change during skeletal maturation, relatively little is known about how this impacts the mechanical properties of the tissue. In this study, digital image correlation was first used to quantify spa...
