Schematic of the developing tendon-to-bone enthesis at the rotator cuff of a mouse. The graded mineralized region maintained a relatively constant thickness over time, increasing while the outer radius of the cortical bone (humeral head) and tendon length grew. The unmineralized “fibrocartilage” disappeared with age. Rings are drawn to scale.
