tlooto Summary

The purpose of this work is to attempt to determine the elastic spring constant for collagen and elastic fibers in skin and to detemine if the values of these elastic constants are similar to those reported for other tissues.

Abstract

Background/aims: The purpose of this work is to attempt to determine the elastic spring constant for collagen and elastic fibers (elastin) in skin and to detemine if the values of these elastic constants are similar to those reported for other tissues.
