Thermal Destabilization of Collagen Matrix Hierarchical Structure by Freeze/Thaw.

This study aims to characterize and understand the effects of freezing on collagen structures and functionality. Specifically, thermodynamic destabilization of collagen at molecular- and fibril-levels by combination of low temperatures and freezing were experimentally characterized using modulated d...
