skeleton
• when cre expression is suppressed by doxycycline treatment until 1 month of age then stopped, 3 weeks later bone mass is reduced compared to mutant mice with one wild-type Rptor allele
• when cre expression is suppressed by doxycycline treatment until 1 month of age then stopped, 3 weeks later bone marrow cavity is larger than in mutant mice with one wild-type Rptor allele but still smaller than in controls not over expressing Wnt7b
• when cre expression is suppressed by doxycycline treatment until 1 month of age then stopped, 3 weeks later osteoblast number is increased
• however, unlike in mice with one wild-type Rptor osteoblast hyperactivity is reduced
