This study identified three new mutations in the VDR ligand-binding domain that may cause dysfunction, and noted that oral calcium and calcidol treatment was effective, but only one patient experienced hair growth.

This study found no significant association between vitamin D levels and alopecia areata in patients when gender was accounted for, but vitamin D levels were lower in patients with nail involvement.

This report describes two cases where patients developed vitiligo as a side effect of diphencyprone treatment for alopecia areata, highlighting the need to inform patients about this potential adverse effect.

Light therapy can effectively treat vitiligo and hair loss caused by a specific medication.

This study suggests that the vitamin D receptor and hairless gene may directly regulate each other via a transcriptional mechanism, potentially explaining phenotypic similarities between atrichia and VDRRIIa rickets.

In this study, no significant association was found between the VDR FokI gene polymorphism and alopecia areata, though further research in diverse populations is needed.

The researchers reported that the antipsoriatic compounds 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 and calcipotriol thinned the living cell compartment in organotypic ORS cultures by accelerating the differentiation pathway rather than affecting proliferation.

This study reports a rare case where severe vitamin B12 deficiency was identified as the cause of excessive daytime sleepiness, which resolved after vitamin B12 replenishment.

This study demonstrated a method for delivering a photosensitizer, Ammi majus fructuum furocumarines, into hair follicles using calcium carbonate particles, followed by UVA irradiation, which led to significant pigment accumulation, indicating potential improvements for photochemical therapy.

This study demonstrated that combining l-cystine and thiamin in a formulation may protect against UV-induced damage in growth-limited human epidermal keratinocytes in vitro.

In this study, the multifunctional Hair BB Cream containing botanical extracts and other ingredients improved hair combability, increased shine and strength, and provided UV protection, highlighting its potential as an effective hair care product.

This study found that patients with vitiligo had significantly lower serum BDNF levels compared to healthy controls, which may relate to the condition's etiology or its association with psychiatric disorders.

This study found that a majority of dermatologists in Saudi Arabia believe in using vitamins and minerals to treat hair loss but emphasized the need for more research to confirm their effectiveness.

This chapter hypothesizes that vitamin D signaling in the skin may suppress UV radiation-induced epidermal tumor formation, reviewing potential mechanisms without reporting new clinical results.

This case report observed complete repigmentation of a stable vitiligo patch with body hair transplantation in a 28-year-old man, with no recurrence after 3 months.

In this study, carotene injected into the skin was converted into vitamin A by sebaceous gland cells, where it was not normally detectable.

In this study, the researchers observed that localized vitiligo was most prevalent among patients in Saudi Arabia, commonly beginning on the face and frequently associated with thyroid disorders.

This study found a significant correlation between vitamin D deficiency and the severity of androgenetic alopecia in males, suggesting that vitamin D may influence the condition's premature onset.

Silymarin improves hair follicle health better than vitamin C by boosting cell growth and reducing oxidative stress.

In this study, researchers found that punch grafting was more effective than follicular hair transplantation for treating stable vitiligo; however, follicular hair transplantation was found to be cosmetically preferable for exposed areas like the face due to fewer side effects.

This study found that pimecrolimus enhances melanin synthesis and promotes melanocyte migration, possibly by increasing MITF protein expression, which may explain its effectiveness in repigmenting vitiligo.

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.

This study found that calcitriol protects keratinocytes from the cell detachment and apoptosis caused by captopril exposure.

This abstract reviews recent findings on the biology of isolated micrografts in hair restoration, emphasizing factors that enhance micrograft viability, but it does not report new experimental results.

In this study, researchers aimed to investigate the effects of injecting intralesional platelet-rich plasma and vitamin D in patients with vitiligo, focusing on their potential to induce skin pigmentation. Results are not reported in the abstract.

This review highlights that vitexin, a natural flavonoid derived from plants like mung bean, modulates critical cellular processes involved in cancer progression, suggesting its potential as a multi-target anticancer treatment in preclinical studies.

In this randomized controlled trial, intralesional vitamin D3 injections significantly improved localized alopecia areata symptoms compared to a saline placebo, with minimal and transient side effects, suggesting vitamin D3 as an effective treatment option without needing prior serum vitamin D level measurement.

This study demonstrated that an LC/MS-MS method could effectively detect and quantify the vitamin B3 vitamer nicotinamide in human hair, suggesting its potential use for long-term deficiency examination.

This review assesses the role of vitamins A, B, C, and D in treating dermatologic conditions and highlights promising applications, although further research is required to confirm their efficacy.

This study found that specific polymorphisms in the VDR gene, Taq1, and Cdx1, were significantly associated with increased risk of chronic telogen effluvium in women.
