Quantitative analysis of immunopositive staining showing dysregulation of TGFβ family proteins in diseased compared to healthy rotator cuff tendons. a TGFβ-1: healthy (n = 11), tendinopathic (n = 10), torn (n = 10); b TGFβ R1: healthy (n = 10), tendinopathic (n = 10), torn (n = 9); and c TGFβ R2: healthy (n = 10), tendinopathic (n = 10), torn (n = 9). Bar represents the median value. Data were analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis test; *p < 0.05 **p < 0.01 ***p < 0.001 ****p < 0.0001.
