Fibro-adipogenic progenitors prevent skeletal muscle degeneration at acute phase upon tendon rupture in a murine tibialis anterior tenotomy model

Figure 8 The progression of muscle adipogenic degeneration after tendon rupture in fibro-adipogenic progenitor-depleted mice. A: The perilipin 1 immunofluorescence staining results of the tibialis anterior muscle at 0 day, 1 week, and 6 weeks after tibialis anterior tenotomy in PdgfraCre^ERT::Rosa^DTA mice induced with Tamoxifen or corn oil; B: The statistical analysis of the area fraction of positive stained area which represents the tendency of adipogenesis. ^aP < 0.05, compared to control group. Scale bar = 100 μm. TA: Tibialis anterior; TAT: Tibialis anterior tenotomy.
