Figure 5From: Characterization of differential properties of rabbit tendon stem cells and tenocytes The morphology of TSCs and tenocytes in culture. A, B. PTSCs and ATSCs at passage 10 were in culture for at least 63 days, respectively. These cells were cobblestone-like in a confluent culture. C. Morphology of tenocytes from the same rabbit patellar tendons; similar morphology was observed in tenocytes from the Achilles tendons (not shown). These tenocytes were highly elongated in a confluent culture. (Bar: 50 μm).Back to article page
