Representative micrographs of normal control and injured fetal and adult tendons three days post-injury (pi). Compared to the control tendons, we found an up-regulation of α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA), nerve growth factor (NGF), and vimentin within and around the lesion site in both age groups. Inserts show an overview at 10× magnification, scale bar = 100 µm.
