research Vitamin D increases expression of cathelicidin in cultured sebocytes
Vitamin D boosts a specific protein in skin cells linked to hair follicles.
research Expression patterns of the glial cell line–derived neurotrophic factor, neurturin, their cognate receptors GFRα-1, GFRα-2, and a common signal transduction element c-Ret in the human skin hair follicles
