Equine intrasynovial DDFT structure and TDC isolation. a Equine forelimb intrasynovial DDFT within the hoof capsule. The outlined area (dashed line) represents tissue within the podotrochlear bursa that was used to isolate TDC. b Gross cross-section of DDFT with dorsal fibrocartilage dissected (arrow) from the underlying tendinous tissues. c Toluidine blue-stained cross section of DDFT (area outlined with a dashed line in (b) that depicts chondrocyte-like cells within the proteoglycan-rich dorsal fibrocartilage (black arrow heads).
