Preservation of Auxetic Oscillatory Capacity in Living Connective Tissue: An ECM-Regulated Hypothesis of Mechanical Homeostasis

Living connective tissue preserves function while adapting to changing loads. This hypothesis proposes that preserving access to reversible auxetic deformation can contribute to mechanical homeostasis in selected tissues. Auxetic oscillation (AO) denotes repeated, reversible expr...
