      Vitamin D Metabolism and Function in the Skin

      research Vitamin D metabolism and function in the skin

      185 citations , June 2011 in “Molecular and cellular endocrinology”
      This review discusses the regulation and function of vitamin D and its receptor in skin cells, highlighting their roles in processes such as proliferation inhibition, differentiation, and innate immunity, but reports no new results.
      Vitamin D and the Skin: Physiology and Pathophysiology

      research Vitamin D and the skin: Physiology and pathophysiology

      158 citations , August 2011 in “Reviews in endocrine and metabolic disorders”
      This review examines the functions of vitamin D and its receptor in skin and explores how these are regulated, reporting no new clinical results.

      research Novel mechanisms for the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in the skin and in skin cancer

      71 citations , October 2014 in “The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology”
      This study highlights the complex role of the vitamin D receptor in skin processes, where its disruption, along with calcium and co-regulator imbalances, could contribute to skin cancer development by altering skin differentiation and hair follicle cycling.

      research Quantification of the Vitamin D Receptor−Coregulator Interaction

      62 citations , January 2009 in “Biochemistry”
      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.
