MMP13ocy−/− cortical bone displays hallmarks of suppressed perilacunar/canalicular remodeling. ac Canalicular length in wild-type bone is longer than that in MMP13ocy−/− bone in all regions sampled (b, n = 7), while lacunar area is not statistically different (c, n = 7). Graphs show mean ± SEM. d, e Collagen fiber organization is reduced in MMP13ocy−/− bone (n = 9) compared with wild-type bone (n = 8) in the anterior quadrant but not in other regions. Lines represent the mean of all specimens in the group. Scale bars are 20 μm in a and 50 μm in d. *P < 0.05 between genotypes by unpaired t test
