Sutural fibroblasts exhibit the function of vascular endothelial cell upon mechanical strain

Midfacial hypoplasia is a kind of facial dysplasia. The technique of trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis(TSDO) can promote midface growth so as to ameliorate this symptom. Here, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to define the rat's cell classification of zygomatic maxillary suture and the changes of cell clusters in the suture before and after seven-day distraction.
