Mechanical Forces Accelerate Collagen Digestion by Bacterial Collagenase in Lung Tissue Strips

Most tissues in the body are under mechanical tension, and while enzymes mediate many cellular and extracellular processes, the effects of mechanical forces on enzyme reactions in the native extracellular matrix (ECM) are not fully understood. We hypothesized that physiological levels of mechanical...
