Figure 3: ScxGFP expression is induced and maintained in neonatal tendon cells under 3D uniaxial tension.
(A) Cell-seeded collagen gels contract to form tensioned linear constructs by 21 days. (B) ScxGFP expression and phase contrast imaging of whole mount constructs after 14 and 21 days of culture in 3D. Scale bar: 200 μm.
