Multiscale, converging defects of macro-porosity, microstructure and matrix mineralization impact long bone fragility in NF1.

Multiscale, converging defects of macro-porosity, microstructure and matrix mineralization impact long bone fragility in NF1.

Bone fragility due to osteopenia, osteoporosis or debilitating focal skeletal dysplasias is a frequent observation in the Mendelian disease Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). To determine the mechanisms underlying bone fragility in NF1 we analyzed two conditional mouse models, Nf1Prx1 (limb knock-out)...
