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 Hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets in Lebanese patients: the p.R391S and p.H397P variants have different phenotypes
Two different mutations in the vitamin D receptor gene cause different symptoms and responses to treatment in Lebanese patients with hereditary rickets.
research Cutaneous Manifestations of Chronic Kidney Disease: A Narrative Review
Chronic kidney disease can cause skin issues that need early recognition and combined treatment for better outcomes.
research Vitamin D metabolism and function in the skin
Skin cells produce and activate vitamin D, which regulates skin functions and supports hair growth.
research Calcium regulation of stem cells
Calcium is important for stem cell function and maintenance, especially in blood and skin cells.
research Extraskeletal actions of vitamin D
Vitamin D has potential benefits for cancer prevention, heart health, diabetes, obesity, muscle function, skin health, and immune function, but clinical results are mixed and more research is needed.
research Mutations in the vitamin D receptor and hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets
Mutations in the vitamin D receptor cause hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, leading to poor bone health and requiring high calcium doses for treatment.
research Menopause and aging, quality of life and sexuality
Menopause and aging can affect women's quality of life and sexuality, but hormone therapies may help alleviate these issues.
research A Humanized Mouse Model of Hereditary 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D–Resistant Rickets Without Alopecia
Researchers created a mouse model of a type of rickets that does not cause hair loss.
research The Molecular Biology of the Vitamin D Receptor
The vitamin D receptor can affect gene activity even without its usual hormone in hair and skin.
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 Ligand‐Independent Actions of the Vitamin D Receptor: More Questions Than Answers
The vitamin D receptor can act without its usual activating molecule, affecting hair growth and skin cancer, but its full range of actions is not well understood.
research Nongenomic effects of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 on cartilage formation deduced from comparisons between Cyp27b1 and Vdr knockout mice
1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 directly affects cartilage growth and development.
research Experience of intravenous calcium treatment and long-term responses to treatment in a patient with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets resulting from a novel mutation
Intravenous calcium therapy is a safe and effective treatment for a rare type of rickets.
research Constitutive Internalization of the Leucine-rich G Protein-coupled Receptor-5 (LGR5) to the Trans-Golgi Network
LGR5 mainly stays inside cells, moving to the trans-Golgi network, and this process is important for its role in cell signaling.
research The urine as a diagnostic key for a homozygous EGFR mutation
A rare EGFR mutation in newborns leads to severe health issues and early death.
research A correlation of breast cancer and calcium levels in hair analyzed by X-ray fluorescence
High calcium levels in hair may indicate early breast cancer.
