Abnormal Gene Regulation By Calcium and Vitamin D In Squamous Cell Carcinoma (1992)

Title:

Abnormal Gene Regulation By Calcium and Vitamin D In Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Key words:

Vitamin D, calcium, squamous cell carcinoma

Research Institution:

University of California, San Francisco

Location:

California

Researcher:

Daniel D Bikle

Project Description:

Dr. Bikle evaluated how calcium and vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D) regulate the expression of genes important for differentiation of squamous cell carcinoma cell lines. He attempted to ascertain if abnormal gene regulation might be due to missing mediators of calcium and vitamin D.
