The mechanical properties of intestinal tissues determine how a thin-walled structure exerts forces on food and absorbs the force of food as it enters and travels down the gut. These properties are critically important in durophagous and stomachless

Mechanical Design of Structural Materials in Animals explores the principles underlying how molecules interact to produce the functional attributes of biological materials: their strength and stiffness, ability to absorb and store energy, and ability

The mechanical properties of aortic elastin vary regionally, but the microstructural basis for this variation is unknown. This study was designed to identify the relative contributions of lamellar and interlamellar elastin to circumferential load bea

Summary Peripheral nerves are susceptible to stretch injury [1–4] and incorporate structural waviness at the level of the axons, fascicles, and nerve trunk to accommodate physiological increases in length [5, 6]. It is unknown whether there are lim

Over the last two decades, many studies on functional morphology have suggested that material properties of seaweed tissues may influence their fitness. Because hydrodynamic forces are likely the largest source of mortality for seaweeds in high wave

SUMMARYThe silk that orb-weaving spiders produce for use as dragline and for the frame of the web is spun from the major ampullate (MA) glands, and it is renowned for its exceptional toughness. The fibroins that make up MA silk have previously been o

The forced silking of a spider to obtain major ampullate (MA) silk for experiments is a standard practice; however, this method may have profound effects on the resulting silk's properties. Experiments were performed to determine the magnitude of the

We performed mechanical tests on a matrix-free keratin model-hagfish slime threads-to test the hypothesis that intermediate filaments (IFs) in hydrated hard alpha-keratins are maintained in a partly dehydrated state. This hypothesis predicts that dry

Processes involving self-assembly of monomeric units into organized polymeric arrays are currently the subject of much attention, particularly in the areas of nanotechnology and biomaterials. One biological example of a protein polymer with potential

SUMMARY The juxtaposition of heart and gills in teleost fish means that the Windkessel function characteristic of the whole mammalian arterial tree has to be subserved by the extremely short ventral aorta and bulbus arteriosus. Over the functional pr
