Elastase treatment of tendon specifically impacts the mechanical properties of the interfascicular matrix

The tendon interfascicular matrix (IFM) binds tendon fascicles together. As a result of its low stiffness behaviour under small loads, it enables non-uniform loading and increased overall extensibility of tendon by facilitating fascicle sliding. This function is particularly important in energy stor...
