The different distribution of enzymatic collagen cross-links found in adult and children bone result in different mechanical behavior of collagen

Enzymatic collagen cross-linking has been shown to play an important role in the macroscopic elastic and plastic deformation of bone across ages. However, its direct contribution to collagen fibril deformation is unknown. The aim of this study is to determine how covalent intermolecular connections...
