Neuron-Specific Vitamin D Signaling Attenuates Microglia Activation and CNS Autoimmunity
Low vitamin D during childhood is associated with an increased risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) as an adult. Given that vitamin D has anti-inflammatory properties, it has been postulated that the relationship between MS and low vitamin D is due to immune dysregulation. Since the vitamin D...
