Biochemical changes in dissections are localised to the dissected area, with increased deposition of elastin, collagen, and other proteins. The altered matrix composition is likely to change the mechanical properties, possibly increasing the tendency to rupture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
