At least half of the glycosaminoglycans of connective tissues such as cornea and nucleus pulposus is composed of keratan sulfate. The amount of keratan sulfate present in cartilage is found to increase with age of the animal (1) and is closely associated with the chondroitin sulfateprotein complex (
## Abstract Collagen gels provide a biocompatible matrix for replacing soft tissues, but it is essential to determine whether the mechanical properties of the matrix can be retained after cell ingrowth into the collagen scaffold. We have determined the mechanical strength of four collagen gel compo
## Abstract The glycosaminoglycan of decorin, dermatan sulfate (DS), has been suggested to contribute to the mechanical properties of soft connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons. This study investigated the mechanical function of DS in human medial collateral ligaments (MCL) using nondest
