Glad to see our work is online now! @ScienceAdvances @JingdaT @zhigangsuo @FengkaiLiu1 @cc45877841 @LiangsongZeng . We investigate the origin of the high toughness of the soft collagenous tissue through mechanical tests and microscopic observations.

Collagen fibers bridge the crack, providing high traction and large separation, which contribute to its high toughness.
We're honored to learn from such knowledgeable mentors. Thank you for your support and guidance @zhigangsuo & @JingdaT ! We also thank the editorial team for their professional and efficient processing of our manuscript @ScienceAdvances .
