    Figure Lengend Snippet: Molecular assessment of tendon repair and systemic biosafety. (A) Representative immunofluorescence images of inflammatory, matrix-degrading, tenogenic, and senescence markers, alongside macrophage phenotypes in repaired tendons. (B) Correlation analysis integrating molecular and functional recovery. Bar charts (left Y-axis) display the relative fluorescence intensity of the indicated markers, overlaid with line graphs (right Y-axis) showing the fold change in biomechanical properties (Ultimate Load and Tensile Modulus). Note the inverse correlation between SASP factors (IL-6, MMP13, P16) and mechanical strength. (C) Western blot analysis of the STING pathway, senescence indicators, and heterotopic ossification markers (OCN, SOX9, BMP-2). (D, E) Systemic biosafety evaluation via H&E staining of major organs (D) and blood biochemistry analysis (E) showing no toxicity. Significance: ns, not significant; ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
