Mechanics and mechanobiology of arteries: contributions and interactions of collagen and elastin
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University === The dynamic mechanical behavior of arteries is essential to a properly functioning vascular system. Within the arterial extracellular matrix (ECM), the organization of collagen and elastin leads to the bulk of the passive mechanical behavior of the tissue. While...
