Role of the vitamin D3 pathway in healthy and diseased skin--facts, contradictions and hypotheses.

abstract：:Mycosis fungoides and its leukaemic counterpart Sézary syndrome are the most frequent cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL), and there is no cure for these diseases. We evaluated the effect of clinically approved antihistamines on the growth of CTCL cell lines. CTCL cell lines as well as blood lymphocytes from patients wi...
