• at 2 months, bone formation rates are less than in wild-type mice
|
• in vitro, osteoblasts from newborn mice exhibit a 40% reduction in proliferation compared to wild-type cells
• at 2 months, the number of proliferating osteoblasts is 30% less than in wild-type mice

• despite abnormal osteoblast morphology and physiology, osteoclast morphology and physiology are normal
|
• at 2 months, bone formation rates are less than in wild-type mice
|
• in vitro, osteoblasts from newborn mice exhibit a 40% reduction in proliferation compared to wild-type cells
• at 2 months, the number of proliferating osteoblasts is 30% less than in wild-type mice
|
• at 2 months, the osteoblast surface is 40% less than in wild-type mice

• at 2 months
|
• in adult mice, the number of trabeculae is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
• however, trabecular thickness is normal
|
• at 2 months, the trabecular bone mass is reduced 70% compared to in wild-type mice
|
• cultured bone marrow cells have reduced osteoprogenitors, and half as much mineralization area is produced by colony forming unit-osteoblasts compared to wild-type bone marrow
