Figure 5.

Histological micrographs of tissue from group 1 rabbits. (A): Newly regenerated tendons are shown in the blue-stained fibers (black arrow; Masson’s trichrome stain; magnification, ×12.5). (B): Regenerated tendon fibers (yellow arrowhead; Masson’s trichrome stain; magnification, ×250) are connected to adjacent M fibers. (C): The regenerated tendon fibers (black arrow) stained with anti-type 1 collagen antibody. The defect was reconstructed with human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (magnification, ×100). Abbreviation: M, muscle.
