Reduced Expression of Vitamin D Receptor Related to Alopecia Universalis by Wnt/B-Catenin Signaling Pathway
TLDR Reduced Vitamin D receptor expression may cause hair loss through the Wnt/b-catenin pathway.
The study explored the relationship between the reduced expression of the Vitamin D receptor (VDR) and alopecia universalis, focusing on the role of the Wnt/b-catenin signaling pathway. It suggested that the downregulation of VDR might be linked to the pathogenesis of alopecia universalis through this signaling pathway. The research provided insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying this form of hair loss, although it was not cited in major scientific databases at the time.
