29 citations
,
December 2017 in “International Journal of Dermatology” This study found that vitamin D deficiency in patients with alopecia areata was associated with greater disease severity and longer duration, but not with disease pattern or vitamin D receptor expression.
August 2024 in “Case Reports in Ophthalmology” In this case report, researchers observed that local radiation therapy to the orbits may not be sufficient to halt progression of new retinal lesions in older patients, even when the disease initially appears confined to the intraocular space.
12 citations
,
September 2017 in “JDR Clinical & Translational Research” In this study, researchers observed that the success of treating hereditary vitamin D–resistant rickets in children depends on the mutation location in the VDR gene, notably with favorable dental development outcomes for those with the p.R391S mutation, despite persistent alopecia.
47 citations
,
September 2002 in “Journal of Bone and Mineral Research” This study found that a specific VDR amino acid substitution in children with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets disrupts ligand binding and gene activation but does not impair hair follicle development.
6 citations
,
April 2013 in “International Journal of Dermatology” This correspondence article discusses a case of androgenetic alopecia treated with valproic acid but does not present new clinical findings.
50 citations
,
October 2011 in “Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics” This study found that while calcium can substitute for the Vitamin D receptor in maintaining epidermal keratinocyte differentiation, it cannot compensate for hair follicle dysfunction caused by the absence of the receptor.
2 citations
,
August 2002 in “British Journal of Ophthalmology” This article discusses the potential of intralesional cidofovir as a treatment for SCC and reports no systemic toxicity, but highlights surgical excision as the most reliable curative option.

520 citations
,
February 2001 in “Journal of Clinical Investigation” This study found that VEGF significantly enhances perifollicular vascularization during the hair growth phase, accelerating hair regrowth and increasing follicle and hair size, while its inhibition retards hair growth.
55 citations
,
January 2020 in “Advances in experimental medicine and biology” This study suggests that vitamin D and its receptor may protect against the development of epidermal tumors following UV radiation by regulating specific cellular signaling pathways.
4 citations
,
January 2025 in “Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” This article reviews the characteristics, differential diagnosis, and management options for papular acantholytic dyskeratosis of the vulva, illustrated by a case of a 21-year-old patient, but reports no new clinical results.
17 citations
,
June 2011 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study observed that mice with a Cx43 mutation exhibited slower and asynchronous hair regrowth with severe cuticle weathering, mimicking aspects of hair phenotype in some ODDD patients.
