Vitamin D and vitamin D receptor in patients with ophthalmic pterygium
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2017 Pterygium, an ultraviolet radiation (UV)-related disease, is a relatively benign process, but since it displays tumor-like features, it has been proposed to be a neoplastic- like growth disorder.

Vitamin D, vitamin D receptor and tissue barriers [PDF]
Tissue Barriers, 2013 Tissue barriers are critical in the pathogenesis of human diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, inflammatory bowel diseases, and various cancers. Preserving or restoring barrier functions of the epithelia cells is a therapeutic strategy to prevent and treat the illness. Mounting evidence indicates that vitamin D and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) play key

Vitamin D Receptor and Vitamin D Action in Muscle [PDF]
Endocrinology, 2014 Vitamin D has been known for nearly a century to be essential for bone health because it can prevent and cure endemic rickets and osteomalacia (1–3). Currently, the complex implications of deficiency or excess vitamin D on bone modeling and remodeling are well documented by a wealth of preclinical and clinical studies (reviewed in 4).

Regulation of the vitamin D receptor by vitamin D lactam derivatives [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2016 The active metabolite of vitamin D3, 1α,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D3, acts as a ligand for the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and activates VDR‐mediated gene expression. Recently, we characterized 1α,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D3‐26,23‐lactams (DLAMs), which mimic vitamin D3 metabolites, as noncalcemic VDR ligands that barely activate the receptor.

A role for vitamin D and the vitamin D receptor in keloid disorder
Wound Repair and Regeneration, 2023 AbstractKeloids are disfiguring fibroproliferative lesions that can occur in susceptible individuals following any skin injury. They are extremely challenging to treat, with relatively low response rates to current therapies and high rates of recurrence after treatment.
