Deletion of TGFβR2 in Nestin+ cells attenuates peritendinous adhesion. H&E staining (a) and Masson staining (b) of PAF tissues and the space between the tendon and its tissues on postoperative Days 14, 21, and 28. Scale bar, 1 mm. Yellow arrowheads indicate the space between the tendon and surrounding tissues. Black arrowheads indicate the space occupied by adhesion tissues. Quantitative analysis of PAF tissues (c) and the space between the tendon and its tissues (d). Investigation (e) and quantitative analysis (F) of ROM. Scale bar, 200 μm. B, bone; D, day; M, muscle; R, repaired site; ROM, range of motion; T, tendon. * indicates P < 0.05
