This study found that mice with a mutant CDP/Cux protein lacking the homeodomain showed severely impaired growth, high postnatal mortality, and reduced fertility, highlighting CDP/Cux's role in developmental regulation.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor is essential for the self-renewal, migration, and differentiation of epidermal stem cells during skin wound healing in mice.

This review summarizes the proposed model that describes how different shapes of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 ligands interact with the vitamin D receptor to mediate genomic and rapid responses in cells.

In this study, researchers identified a unique Arg30stop mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene that causes hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets in a young French-Canadian boy by truncating the receptor and causing hormone resistance.

In this study, the researchers found that vitamin D and calcium signaling in keratinocytes are essential for normal skin regeneration after wounding, with deficiencies significantly delaying wound closure and re-epithelialization in mice.

This study found that the rs2228570 polymorphism of the VDR gene was associated with an increased risk of melanoma, while the rs731236 polymorphism was linked to a protective effect against the disease in Colombian patients.

USB videodermatoscopes are a practical and affordable alternative for diagnosing skin conditions.

This case report diagnosed variegate porphyria in a 33-year-old woman based on significant laboratory abnormalities, but with clinical features resembling porphyria cutanea tarda.

This review discusses the increased risk of venous thromboembolism associated with combined hormonal contraceptives, particularly noting higher risks with certain progestins like desogestrel, gestodene, and cyproterone acetate, but reports no new clinical findings.

This report describes a unique case of hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR) in a dog, caused by a VDR gene mutation resulting in severe hypocalcemia and bone issues, which presented with symptoms similar to those observed in humans.

This description of dystrophy hypotrichosis associated with juvenile macular dystrophy provides an overview of this rare disorder characterized by short hair from birth and progressive loss of central vision but reports no new findings.

This study explored dermatoscopic and histopathologic findings of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia beyond the vertex scalp, suggesting that dermatoscopy might serve as a less invasive diagnostic tool for subclinical disease.

This study introduced the Vitamin Deficiency Detection System, which helps users identify potential vitamin deficiencies by analyzing symptoms they select on a user-friendly interface.

This study found that both the natural ligand 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) and the synthetic agonist LG190178 bind similarly to the vitamin D receptor's coregulator motifs, suggesting similar biological functions.

This study found that extracellular vesicles derived from 3D cultures of cervical cancer cells have small RNA profiles more similar to those in patient plasma than those from 2D cultures.

This study found that a motion-graphic educational video significantly improved patient knowledge during the informed consent process for platelet-rich plasma therapy in androgenetic alopecia compared to traditional verbal explanations, without affecting anxiety levels, and participants reported high satisfaction with the video.

In this study, targeted deletion of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 gene in mice disrupted the epidermal lipid barrier, leading to increased water loss, impaired thermoregulation, and metabolic issues.

This study found that minicircle-based gene therapy significantly lowered total homocysteine levels and improved liver CBS activity in a mouse model of CBS deficiency.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that their technology efficiently produces CFx-δ2 from stem cells and accelerates wound healing by enhancing fibroblast activity, reducing inflammation, and promoting blood vessel formation.

This report describes two cases where a viral vector COVID-19 vaccine was associated with the recurrence of cutaneous lymphoma conditions that had been in remission.

In this study, researchers observed that Vdr-knockout mice experience hair cycle arrest during the catagen stage, leading to alopecia, with persistent epithelial strands forming in the hair follicles, indicating Vitamin D receptor's role in regulating hair follicle regression and regeneration.

The new chitosan dressing heals wounds better and faster than current products.

This study presents two cases correlating the clinical appearance of adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy with optical coherence tomography findings, describing the location of the yellow vitelliform material.

This article compares two rare genetic diseases, vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1 and type 2, focusing on their similar presentations of hypocalcemia and rickets in infancy, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that connective tissue nevi show distinctive dermoscopic and RCM features, with RCM being particularly helpful for diagnosing lesions of less than one year in duration.

This study investigated pyranoanthocyanin Vitisin A and found it significantly lowered triglyceride levels and reduced body weight in high-fat diet-fed mice, outperforming Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside by inhibiting hepatic lipogenesis and enhancing fatty acid β-oxidation.

In this study, deleting the -catenin gene in vitamin D receptor-null mice did not prevent tumor development, suggesting -catenin's predicted protective role was not observed.

This study established an experimental model to visualize calcium ion distribution after skin barrier damage in canine epidermis, observing that calcium gradients changed differently depending on the type of damage and time elapsed.

In this study, researchers identified a novel p.R50X mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene, linked to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets in two siblings.

A woman developed white patches on her skin and curly hair after hepatitis C treatment, likely due to the medication interferon alpha.
