Effects of tissue degradation by collagenase and elastase on the biaxial mechanics of porcine airways

BACKGROUND: Common respiratory illnesses, such as emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, are characterized by connective tissue damage and remodeling. Two major fibers govern the mechanics of airway tissue: elastin enables stretch and permits airway recoil, while collagen prevents over...
