Fig. 8

Nucleostemin percentage and presence in response to tendon rupture. Images showing immunofluorescence staining of the stem cell marker, nucleostemin (red), in control (a-c) and ruptured (d-f) rat Achilles tendon at week two post-rupture. Diagrams showing the percentage of nucleostemin-positive cells in the distal (g), injury (h) and midproximal (i) 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
