Fascicles and the interfascicular matrix show adaptation for fatigue resistance in energy storing tendons

Tendon is composed of rope-like fascicles, bound together by interfascicular matrix (IFM). Our previous work shows that the IFM is critical for tendon function, facilitating sliding between fascicles to allow tendons to stretch. This function is particularly important in energy storing tendons, whic...
