Mounting evidence suggests that the gut microbiome impacts brain development and
function. Gut–brain connections may be mediated by an assortment of microbial molecules …

The classical functions of vitamin D are to regulate calcium-phosphorus homeostasis and
control bone metabolism. However, vitamin D deficiency has been reported in several …

There is increasing recognition of the role the microbiome plays in states of health and
disease. Microbiome studies in systemic autoimmune diseases demonstrate unique …

(1) Background: Vitamin D is an immunoregulatory factor influencing intestinal homeostasis.
Recent evidence supports a central role of this micronutrient in the course of Inflammatory …

The vitamin D receptor is highly expressed in the gastrointestinal tract where it transacts
gene expression. With current limited understanding of the interactions between the gut …

Vitamin D plays a pivotal role in intestinal homeostasis. Vitamin D can impact the function of
virtually every cell in the gut by binding to its intracellular receptor (VDR) and subsequently …

The existence of a gut‐skin axis is supported by increasing evidence, but its translational
potential is not widely recognized. Studies linked inflammatory skin diseases to an …

Recent evidence has shown a number of extra-skeletal functions of Vitamin D (VD), primarily
involving the immune system. One of these functions is mediated by the modulation of gut …

Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is essential for signal transduction and cell metabolism, and is also
an essential structural component of the extracellular matrix of the skeleton. Pi is sensed in …

The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family is composed of 18 secreted signaling proteins
consisting of canonical FGFs and endocrine FGFs that activate four receptor tyrosine …
