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.
Organism
Mus musculus (mouse)
Samples
23 samples: 8 conditions, mostly in triplicateGroups are read from the sample names, not from the paper. Check the list below.
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.

Growth arrest specific-6 and angiotoxin receptor-like signaling drive oral regenerative wound repairScience translational medicine · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
Rapid and scarless wound repair is a hallmark of the oral mucosa, yet the cellular and molecular mechanisms that enable this regeneration remain unclear. By comparing populations of oral mucosal fibroblasts (OMFs) and facial skin fibroblasts (FSFs), we have identified the mechanisms that facilitate regeneration over fibrosis. We found that OMFs utilize Growth arrest specific-6 (GAS6)-AXL signaling to suppress fibrosis-related mechanosignaling via Focal adhesion kinase (FAK).
Read the full summary ↓
Inhibition and knockdown of AXL in the oral mucosa resulted in fibrotic wounds and increased activation of FAK. At the same time, stimulation of AXL in the facial skin yielded wounds that heal regeneratively. Rare human oral scars that resulted from repetitive injury showed decreased expression of GAS6/AXL and increased FAK. Activating AXL in repetitively injured mouse oral tissue resulted in better wound healing outcomes and reduced scarring. Together, our work demonstrates that AXL signaling is necessary for regenerative wound healing in the oral mucosa and sufficient to limit facial skin fibrosis.

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.

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE287839_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 PRJNA1214801 and SRA study SRP559555. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 23 samples.

How we read this: 8 replicated groups read from 23 sample titles; they account for 23 of them. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
