FliiTg/Tg mice form smaller adhesions following a 50% partial laceration tendon injury compared with WT counterparts. Representative images of H&E stained digits showing the area of tendon injury and the surrounding adhesions and structures in WT (a-e) and FliiTg/Tg (f-j) mice. (k) Graphical representation of adhesion size following a 50% partial laceration, on days 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 following injury. n = 6. Data represented as mean ± SEM. **p ≤ 0.01. t, tendon; dotted line, adhesion area. Magnification × 4. Scale bar = 200 μM
