The skeletal phenotype of the cav‐1−/− mouse, which lacks caveolae, was examined. μCT and histology showed increased trabecular and cortical bone caused by the gene deletion. Structural changes were accompanied by increased mechanical properties. Cell studies showed that cav‐1 deficiency leads to increased osteoblast differentiation. These results suggest that cav‐1 helps to maintain osteoblast progenitors in a less differentiated state.
