BMP signaling is essential for the development of touch domes.
research The Impact of VDR Expression and Regulation In Vivo
VDR regulation varies by tissue and is crucial for its biological functions.
research Vitamin D and the Parenteral Nutrition Patient
Vitamin D is crucial for bone health and preventing serious diseases.
research General Theory of Skin Reinforcement
Skin and its underlying fat layer act together to resist mechanical stress, and reinforcing this composite structure may help more with anti-aging than just strengthening the skin alone.
research The 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3-Independent Actions of the Vitamin D Receptor in Skin
The vitamin D receptor helps regulate skin and hair health independently of its usual vitamin D ligand.
research Presence of a Deletion Mutation (c.716delA) in the Ligand Binding Domain of the Vitamin D Receptor in an Indian Patient with Vitamin D-Dependent Rickets Type II
A genetic mutation caused severe rickets and alopecia in an Indian patient, but high-dose calcium and phosphate treatment improved their condition.
research Reductive Stress Selectively Disrupts Collagen Homeostasis and Modifies Growth Factor-independent Signaling Through the MAPK/Akt Pathway in Human Dermal Fibroblasts
Reductive stress messes up collagen balance and alters cell signaling in human skin cells, which could help treat certain skin diseases.
research Two Siblings With a Novel Nonsense Mutation, p.R50X, in the Vitamin D Receptor Gene
A new gene mutation causes vitamin D-resistant rickets and hair loss in two siblings.
research Diagnostic Value of VDR in Bone Metastasis and Prognosis of Patients with Breast Cancer and Expression Correlation Between Vitamin D Receptor and Hairless Protein
Low Vitamin D receptor levels in breast cancer are linked to worse outcomes and more bone metastases, and could be a marker for prognosis.
research Hereditary Vitamin D Resistant Rickets: Clinical, Laboratory, and Genetic Characteristics of Two Iranian Siblings
Two siblings with a genetic mutation had a form of rickets that doesn't respond to vitamin D.
