research VDR is an essential regulator of hair follicle regression through the progression of cell death
Vitamin D Receptor is crucial for hair follicle shrinkage and cell death, affecting hair growth.
research A Nonrandomized Clinical Trial Investigating Keratinocyte Growth Factor‐Hair Serum for the Prevention of Chemotherapy‐Induced Alopecia
Keratinocyte Growth Factor-Hair Serum may help prevent hair loss during chemotherapy, but more research is needed.
research Relationship between the level of vitamin D in bloof flow and skin dermatosis
Low vitamin D levels are linked to more skin problems.
research Registrars’ Symposium: Summaries of Papers
Lower adrenal hormone levels may cause hair loss in postmenopausal women, certain patterns help diagnose nail cancer, and a gene variant linked to higher skin cancer risk in kidney transplant patients suggests monitoring folate levels.
research Differential impact of environmental factors on systemic and localized autoimmunity
Environmental factors like diet and vitamin levels, especially Vitamin D, can affect autoimmune diseases differently, with lifestyle changes potentially improving outcomes.
research Protective cardiovascular and renal actions of vitamin D and estrogen
Vitamin D and estrogen may help protect heart and kidney health, and maintaining sufficient vitamin D levels could be especially beneficial for African Americans, postmenopausal women, and people with chronic kidney disease.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Vitamin D resistance
Vitamin D and its receptor are essential for hair growth, cell regulation, immune function, and heart health.
research Vitamin D deficiency in non-scarring and scarring alopecias: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Vitamin D deficiency is common in people with certain types of hair loss, like alopecia areata and female pattern hair loss.
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 The Vitamin D Receptor Is a Wnt Effector that Controls Hair Follicle Differentiation and Specifies Tumor Type in Adult Epidermis
