Influence of Elastase and Collagenase: ex vivo study on the mechanical properties of porcine aorta by biaxial tensile tests.
The aorta is the largest artery in the mammal and it’s rather distensible due to its high degree of elasticity. It has a heterogeneous structure, where some of the key elements are the proteins collagen and elastin; which are essential for the mechanical properties of the aortic tissue. This thesis...
