Low-dose UV radiation before running wheel access activates brown adipose tissueWhen combined with physical activity, low-dose UVR may more effectively limit adiposity and modulate metabolic and immune pathways in iBAT
Research
Ultraviolet radiation, Vitamin D and the development of obesity, metabolic syndrome and type-2 diabetesEmerging findings suggest a protective role for ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and sun exposure in reducing the development of obesity and cardiometabolic dysfunction, but more epidemiological and clinical research is required that focuses on measuring the direct associations and effects of exposure to UVR in humans.
Research
Are there differences in immune responses following delivery of vaccines through acutely or chronically sun-exposed compared with sun-unexposed skin?The review provides the basis for further research into the effects of acute and chronic UV radiation exposure on skin cells in the context of vaccination
Research
Higher Serum Immunoglobulin G3 Levels May Predict the Development of Multiple Sclerosis in Individuals With Clinically Isolated SyndromeIgG3 levels and proportions of IgG3 (%IgG) in serum at CIS diagnosis were inversely correlated with the time until conversion to MS
Research
Tryptophan and arginine catabolic enzymes and regulatory cytokines in clinically isolated syndrome and multiple sclerosisHigher IDO and ARG expression in clinically isolated syndrome and multiple sclerosis provides one sustained homeostatic mechanism to control multiple sclerosis-associated inflammation
Research
Characterization of regulatory dendritic cells differentiated from the bone marrow of UV-irradiated miceIn summary, UV-BMDCs do not express the classical phenotypic or gene expression properties of DCs reported by others as 'regulatory' or 'tolerogenic'.
Research
Low vitamin D levels are associated with symptoms of depression in young adult malesResults from studies examining associations between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations and depressive symptoms are equivocal.

UV inhibits allergic airways disease in mice by reducing effector CD4 T cellsIn human asthma, and experimental allergic airways disease in mice, antigen-presenting cells and CD4(+) effector cells at the airway mucosa orchestrate, and CD4
Research
Vitamin D supplementation, moderate sun exposure, and control of immune diseasesThere is considerable debate about the benefits of vitamin D supplementation for multiple sclerosis, allergic asthma, and type 1 diabetes.

Responsiveness of the human airway in vitro during deep inspiration and tidal oscillationIn healthy individuals, deep inspiration produces bronchodilation and reduced airway responsiveness, which may be a response of the airway wall to mechanical...
