Single nuclei RNAseq of the periosteal response to bone fracture and musculoskeletal traumatic injury in mice. Single nuclei RNAseq of the periosteal response to bone fracture and musculoskeletal traumatic injury in mice

Bone regeneration is a highly efficient process allowing scarless healing after injury. Yet, musculoskeletal traumatic injury, when fracture is combined with adjacent muscle injury, alters bone healing leading to fibrous nonunion. The periosteum, the outer layer of bones, is a critical source of skeletal stem/progenitor cells (SSPCs), as well as immune, endothelial and neural cells during bone repair. We generated single nuclei datasets from the injured perioteum and hematoma at day 1-post fracture and from the hematoma/callus at day 5 post-musculoskeletal traumatic injury. These datasets were analyzed in combination with datasets from GSE234451. Overall design: We generated single nuclei datasets from the injured perioteum and hematoma at day 1-post fracture and from the hematoma/callus at day 5 post-musculoskeletal traumatic injury.
