This study found that the vitamin D-VDR system is crucial for mineral and bone metabolism post-weaning and identified missense mutations in 1alpha-hydroxylase causing type I rickets.

This study found that humanized mouse models expressing mutated or reduced levels of the vitamin D receptor were able to maintain normal mineral homeostasis and prevent typical symptoms of vitamin D resistance.

In this study, only Vdr-knockout rats showed both abnormal skin formation and alopecia, which may provide insights into vitamin D receptor function and its role in the hair growth cycle.

This study found that the absence of the vitamin D receptor disrupts hair follicle structure during the first catagen in mice, linked to increased expression of the hairless gene.

This review discusses the multifaceted role of vitamin D in the body, noting its influence on calcium balance, hair cycle maintenance, cell proliferation, cardiovascular function, and immune modulation, with no new clinical results reported.
