What it is
RNA-seq (gene expression)Gene activity measured by sequencing. The summary does not mention single-cell work, so this is most likely bulk: one average per sample, the usual starting point for comparing groups.

Data you can get
A processed table (series matrix) and supplementary files from NCBI; the raw sequencing reads from ENA. Which of these hold counts depends on the study, so check the file list.

Fibrous-layer resident Angptl7(+) periosteal stem cells sense injury inflammation to orchestrate fracture repairCell research · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
The extremity tendons and bones are derived from limb bud mesenchyme, which eventually become cells of different tissues. Despite their common origin, it was widely believed that tenocytes and skeletal cells are distinct lineages without interconversion. However, we found that periosteal skeletal progenitor cells could transform between osteogenic and tenogenic commitment.
Read the full summary ↓
SCX can label the periosteal progenitor cell population. Loss of Piezo1 arrests the periosteal progenitor cells in a progenitor state. Piezo1 deficiency leads to upregulation of Scx expression due to the inhibited YAP nuclear localization. Loss of Piezo1 showed increased tenogenic marker genes and decreased osteogenic marker genes. The periosteal progenitor cells can regenerate the injured tendon more robustly when Piezo1 is absent. Taken together, our data reveal that periosteal SCX+ progenitor cells compromise the osteogenic ability and acquire the tenocyte-biased lineage commitment after loss of Piezo1, providing a strategy to modulate the periosteal progenitor cells for tissue regeneration.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE249206_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: For RNA-seq the counts are usually a table among the supplementary files (look for 'counts', 'expression', 'FPKM' or 'TPM' in the file name). The series matrix of a sequencing study is sometimes nearly empty.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1047664 and SRA study SRP475384. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
