Distinct myofibre domains of the human myotendinous junction revealed by single-nucleus RNA sequencing

Abstract excerpt

The myotendinous junction (MTJ) is a specialized domain of the multinucleated myofibre that is faced with the challenge of maintaining robust cell-matrix contact with the tendon under high mechanical stress and strain. Here, we profiled 24,124 nuclei in semitendinosus muscle-tendon samples from three healthy males by using single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), alongside spatial transcriptomics, to gain...
