Defining the spatial-molecular map of fibrotic tendon healing and the drivers of Scleraxis-lineage cell fate and function

Spatial transcriptomic analysis of murine FDL tendons following acute injury and repair to evaluate spatiotemporal programming of tendon healing Hindpaws from Scx-Ai9 mice (Scx-lin+ cells labeled with tdTomato fluorescence prior to surgery) were collected at D0, 14, 21, and 28 post-injury (in duplicate) for ST analysis of healing tendons using the 10X Visium platform
