Just published! My first last author paper! Showing that vitamin D inhibits inflammatory cytokine production from senescent dermal fibroblasts via inhibition of p38-MAPKinase pathway doi.org/10.1111/acel.14093 @blizard_inst @AkbarLab

Vitamin D3 inhibits p38 MAPK and senescence‐associated inflammatory mediator secretion by senescent...

Ageing is associated with decreased cutaneous immunity and increased inflammageing. Senescent dermal fibroblasts increase in the skin and secrete cytokines and chemokines known as the senescence-as...
