Journal ArticleDOI
The 2011 Report on Dietary Reference Intakes for Calcium and Vitamin D from the Institute of Medicine: What Clinicians Need to Know
A. Catharine Ross,JoAnn E. Manson,Steven A. Abrams,John F. Aloia,John F. Aloia,Patsy M. Brannon,Steven K. Clinton,Ramon Durazo-Arvizu,J. Christopher Gallagher,Richard L. Gallo,Glenville Jones,Christopher S. Kovacs,Susan Taylor Mayne,Clifford J. Rosen,Sue A. Shapses +14 more
TL;DR: The Committee concluded that the prevalence of vitamin D inadequacy in North America has been overestimated and urgent research and clinical priorities were identified, including reassessment of laboratory ranges for 25-hydroxyvitamin D, to avoid problems of both undertreatment and overtreatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toll-Like Receptor Triggering of a Vitamin D-Mediated Human Antimicrobial Response
Philip T. Liu,Steffen Stenger,Huiying Li,Linda Wenzel,Belinda H. Tan,Stephan R. Krutzik,Maria Teresa Ochoa,Jürgen Schauber,Kent Wu,Christoph Meinken,Diane L. Kamen,Manfred Wagner,Robert Bals,Andreas Steinmeyer,Ulrich Zügel,Richard L. Gallo,David Eisenberg,Martin Hewison,Bruce W. Hollis,John S. Adams,Barry R. Bloom,Robert L. Modlin +21 more
TL;DR: The data support a link between TLRs and vitamin D–mediated innate immunity and suggest that differences in ability of human populations to produce vitamin D may contribute to susceptibility to microbial infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endogenous Antimicrobial Peptides and Skin Infections in Atopic Dermatitis
Peck Y. Ong,Takaaki Ohtake,Corinne Brandt,Ian Strickland,Mark Boguniewicz,Tomas Ganz,Richard L. Gallo,Donald Y.M. Leung +7 more
TL;DR: A deficiency in the expression of antimicrobial peptides may account for the susceptibility of patients with atopic dermatitis to skin infection with S. aureus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dorschner,Vasumati K. Pestonjamasp,Vasumati K. Pestonjamasp,Joseph Piraino,Kenneth H. Huttner,Richard L. Gallo,Richard L. Gallo +16 more
TL;DR: It is shown that cathelicidins are an important native component of innate host defence in mice and provide protection against necrotic skin infection caused by Group A Streptococcus (GAS).
Journal ArticleDOI
AMPed up immunity: how antimicrobial peptides have multiple roles in immune defense
Yuping Lai,Richard L. Gallo +1 more
TL;DR: AMPs are multifunctional molecules that have a central role in infection and inflammation and complement their antimicrobial action and favor resolution of infection and repair of damaged epithelia.
