From: Altered TGFB1 regulated pathways promote accelerated tendon healing in the superhealer MRL/MpJ mouse
MRL flexor tendons heal with accelerated recovery of strength and stiffness (A) Maximum force, (B) strength, (C) stiffness and (D) elastic modulus determined from displacement-controlled tensile testing of uninjured and injured flexor tendons of C57BL/6 J and MRL mice (N = 4–6). Asterisks indicate significant mouse strain differences (p < 0.05). a and b indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) from uninjured within C57 and MRL mouse strains respectively.
