Vitamin D deficiency affects a large number of the population worldwide and the preventive role of this vitamin in several pathologies including cancers is interesting. What could be the underlying mechanim?
There are a number of factors which have predisposed individuals today to vitamin D deficiency such as obesity(vitamin sequesters in body fat), use of sunscreen (SPF of 15 blocks 99% vitamin D from sun), spending less time outdoors. Vitamin D is well know to stimulate t lymphocyte number so possibly that is one of its anti CA mechanisms.

Is there anybody right now who is working in Bioinorganic chemistry
I am Vishnu Kirthi. A, doing research in the field of Nanotechnology towards control Malaria, i wanted to know if you would like to join me as a research partner.
We can share the ideas, work and co-authorships, leading to research partnership
