Brief description Nuclear receptors are sensors that control many aspects of metabolism, including responses to injury. Our work and has suggested that the Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) may play a vital role in how the liver responds to damage and whether the liver will the scar and move on to cirrhosis. Our experiments will determine if this is so, and in which cells VDR has this role. This work will provide a basis for future treatments to improve or prevent severe liver diseases.
