Fig. 2: Systemic and local administration of MBV prevents adverse bone remodeling in chronic pristane-induced arthritis by microCT imaging.

a Representative microCT images of forepaws at day 100. Substantial bone remodeling and damage are seen in the pristaneā+āPBS group throughout the proximal bones of the forepaw while all three treatment groups show minimal to absent changes in bone morphology. Scale barā=ā10āmm. b Representative microCT images of hind paws at day 100. Substantial bone remodeling and damage is seen in the pristaneā+āPBS group localized to the tibiotalar joint while all three treatment groups show minimal to absent changes in bone morphology, especially in the region of the tibiotalar joint. Scale barā=ā10āmm. Both panels a. and b. include both anteriorāposterior (AP) and lateral views.
