Typical stress–strain curves for T0, T7 and T10 tendon constructs shown in comparison with data from 13-day ECMT. All curves show the distinct regions (toe, linear and failure) characteristic of tendon. The tendon constructs show a progressive increase in both stiffness (gradient of linear region) and breaking stress with time from T0 to T10.
