Model schematic showing development of macro structure, skeletal muscles and nanostructure of wild type and Hpr scapulae from 1 week to 10 weeks. As our experimental results (Figs. 2–5) showed, at 1 week the scapulae of both wild type and Hpr mice have similar nanostructural parameters, but this diverges considerably with increasing maturity due to insufficient muscle force loading on the Hpr bone.
