  "summary": "Despite therapeutic use of hyaluronic acid (HA) for tendon injuries and tendinopathies, the role of HA in tendon mechanical behavior remains poorly understood. Here, we describe the development of a method that integrates femtosecond laser ablation, second harmonic generation imaging, and mechanical testing to quantify collagen fiber recoil within intact murine tendons under load. Fiber recoil…",
