Fig. 7
Nucleostemin cell density in ruptured vs contralateral control tendon. Nucleostemin-positive cells/mm2 in the distal (a), injury (b) and midproximal (c) regions at one, two, eight and 17 weeks post-rupture. A total of six animals were evaluated at each time point. The p values in the figure represent comparisons between the control (left leg n = 6) and ruptured (right leg n = 6) tendon at each time point. Values are expressed as the median with IQR as error bars
