Combination of SCX with mechanical stress enhances ectopic tendon regeneration in nude mice.

(Upper panel) Hematoxylin and Eosin staining of engineered tendons after 4 weeks of mechanical stress. (Second panel) Masson-staining. (Third panel) Polarized light microscopy. (Bottom panels) TEM and histogram of collagen fiber diameters showing the collagen fibers within in vivo engineered tendons in cross and longitudinal sections. Scale bars, 50 um (HE), 200 nm (cross), 500 nm (longitudinal).
