Congrats to Matt for taking first place in the student paper competition at SB3C in Tucson on June 24! The title of his presentation was “Arterial damage model based on empirical stretch thresholds of collagen unfolding and tissue yielding.” This work utilizes data on collagen fiber unfolding in overstretched vessels to inform a theoretical...
