Immune modulation by UV: Role of vitamin DIn this chapter, evidence for and evidence against the involvement of vitamin D in the immunoregulatory properties of UV radiation is presented.
Research
Vitamin D deficiency causes airway hyperresponsiveness and increases airway smooth muscle mass in the lungs of female BALB/c miceWe tested whether there is a causal association between vitamin D deficiency, airway smooth muscle (ASM) mass, and the development of airway hyperresponsiveness

Modulation of the immune system by UV radiation: More than just the effects of vitamin D?Humans obtain most of their vitamin D through the exposure of skin to sunlight
Research
The effects of in utero vitamin D deficiency on airway smooth muscle mass and lung functionIn this study, we aimed to uncover the molecular mechanisms contributing to altered lung structure and function.

Exposure to Ultraviolet Radiation in the Modulation of Human DiseasesThis review focuses primarily on the beneficial effects for human health of exposure to ultraviolet radiation
Research
House dust mite induced lung inflammation does not alter circulating vitamin D levelsWe hypothesized that allergic inflammation decreases the level of circulating 25(OH)D and tested this using a mice model of house dust mite (HDM) induced...
