Tensile properties of the NET, C-AEM or O-AEM. (A) Tensile testing of the specimen using a custom-made jig that includes an upper clamp and a lower clamp to the resin embedded IT and bony block in humerus, respectively; (B,C) the failure load and stiffness of the NET, C-AEM or O-AEM (n=8). *, P<0.05; **, P<0.01. NET, native enthesis tissue; AEM, acellular enthesis matrix; IT, infraspinatus tendon.
