Single-cell transcriptome analysis reveals cellular heterogeneity in mouse intra- and extra articular ligaments

Cell heterogeneity in the mouse anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) is demonstrated using single-cell analysis with three types of fibroblasts identified, expressing Col14a1, Col12a1, or Col22a1.
