Normal histological callus maturation but increased osteoclast numbers in HCS mice. (a) Representative callus sections (Movat’s Pentachrome staining) of WT and HCS mice at the indicated time points (yellow = mineralized bone; green = cartilage; reddish/brown = bone marrow). Scale bar = 100 μm. Images were captured with CellSens Standard V4.1, Olympus, https://www.olympus-lifescience.com/de/software/cellsens/Tokio, Japan. (b) Histomorphometric quantification of static callus parameters (cartilage and mineralized area) in the same mice. (c) Representative images of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase stainings 21 days after femoral osteotomy, osteoclasts are stained in red. The corresponding quantitative analysis is displayed on the right. Scale bar = 100 μm. For (ac), non-parametric Mann–Whitney U test, *p < 0.05. Data are shown as mean with standard deviation. Data points indicate individual measurements from each mouse.
