Regeneration of tendons in adult mouse. The time when the mouse Achilles tendon was injured was d(0). And after 5 days, α-SMA positive cells are accumulated in the injured part, and Scx positive cells are accumulated in the tendon tissue other than the injured part: d(5). After another 28 days, α-SMA positive cells and Scx positive cells accumulate in the injured area: d(28). After healing, the tendon tissue shows cartilage-like tissue in the part other than the injured part.
