Tendon defects are observed in Mkx null mice. (A–N) The appearance of the patellar tendon (A and B; black arrow), Achilles tendon (C and D; black arrow), hindlimb tendons (E and F), forelimb tendons (G and H), tail tendons (I and J), back tendons (K and L; black arrow) and platysma tendon (M and N; black arrow) in 3-month-old wild-type and Mkx null mice. (O and P) Absolute value of tensile strength (O) and tensile strength per unit area (P) of Achilles tendons in wild-type and Mkx null mice. Error bars, SEM (n = 7). ns, no significance. (Q) Young's modulus of Achilles tendons in wild-type and Mkx null mice. Error bars, SEM (n = 7). ns, no significance.
