Growth/differentiation factors (GDFs) play a significant role in numerous skeletal tissues and processes. Previous work using the brachypod mouse has suggested that GDF-5 affects Achilles tendon composition, ultrastructure, and material behavior, as well as tendon repair. The aim of the present stud
