Area of Science:

Orthopedic Research
Molecular Biology
Genomics

Background:

Musculoskeletal tissues possess complex cellular structures and gene expression patterns.
Understanding these patterns is crucial for diagnosing and treating orthopedic conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the impact and applications of spatial transcriptomics in orthopedic research.
To summarize the methods and findings from studies using spatial transcriptomics on musculoskeletal tissues.

Main Methods:

Literature search for spatial transcriptomic studies on cartilage, joints, bone, tendon, ligament, and synovium.
Identification and analysis of commonly used platforms like 10X Visium, 10X Xenium, seqFISH+, MERFISH, and NanoString GeoMx DSP.

Main Results:

29 manuscripts were identified, with most focusing on tendon and synovium.
10X Visium was the most frequently used platform (22/29 papers).
Spatial transcriptomics has successfully identified novel cell populations and signaling pathways involved in development and disease.

Conclusions:

Imaging-based methods offer high resolution for hypothesis testing, while sequencing methods are suitable for broad discovery.
Spatial transcriptomics holds promise for advancing clinical diagnostics and precision medicine in orthopedics.
