New Experiments and Simulations Help Explain Collagen’s Force

New research from MIT shows that adding or removing small amounts of water from collagen in tendons can generate surprisingly strong forces, as much as 300 times stronger than the forces generated by muscles. Research combining experimental work and detailed molecular simulations has revealed, for the first time, the complex role that water plays in […]
