Here, we examined the skeletal impact of\n                    <jats:italic>Tsc1<\/jats:italic>\n                    deletion using the 8-kb Dmp1-Cre line, which targets mature osteoblasts and osteocytes. Cre activity in Ai14 reporter mice showed comparable recombination in craniofacial, appendicular, and axial bones. Conditional\n                    <jats:italic>Tsc1<\/jats:italic>\n                    deletion resulted in greater bone mass at multiple sites, but with marked regional and compartmental variations. In the craniofacial skeleton, the frontal bone showed the most robust elevation in thickness and volume, the parietal bone displayed intermediate elevation, and the mandible exhibited the smallest elevation but reduced bone volume fraction and tissue mineral density, consistent with greater porosity. In femurs, both trabecular and cortical bone mass was augmented. Histomorphometric analysis of femoral trabecular bone revealed increased osteoblast number and surface together with reduced osteoclast parameters. In vertebrae,\n                    <jats:italic>Tsc1<\/jats:italic>\n                    deletion produced modest trabecular bone accrual but &gt;\u2009100% expansion of both outer and inner cortical bone, indicating a predominant cortical effect. Comparative analysis showed stronger trabecular bone response in the femur and greater cortical response in the vertebra. p-S6 immunostaining confirmed mTORC1 activation across skeletal sites. Comparison with Osterix-Cre\u2013mediated\n                    <jats:italic>Tsc1<\/jats:italic>\n                    deletion showed similar trabecular responses but milder cortical effects in Dmp1-Cre meditated\n                    <jats:italic>Tsc1<\/jats:italic>\n                    deletion, suggesting stage-specific regulation within the osteoblast lineage.
