Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of oral masticatory and lining mucosa-derived mesenchymal stromal cells.

Aim: To reveal the heterogeneity of ex vivo-cultured human mesenchymal stromal cells derived from either masticatory or lining oral mucosa.

Materials And Methods: Cells were retrieved from the lamina propria of the hard palate and alveolar mucosa of three individuals. The analysis of transcriptomic-level differences was accomplished using single-cell RNA sequencing.
