Abstract

Fang and colleagues provide a comprehensive transcriptomic analysis of the cell types occupying the interface between tendon and bone, the enthesis. They establish a framework for understanding enthesis maturation and identify a potent Gli1-lineage progenitor with clonogenicity and multipotency that improves enthesis healing in an adult injury model.
