and observed a drop in the level of cMYC and found evidence of a decrease in its function. Other mice that lacked the specific receptor for vitamin D were found to have strongly elevated levels of cMYC in a number of tissues, including skin and the lining of the colon.
Taken together, our results show that vitamin D puts the brakes on cMYC function, suggesting that it may slow the progression of cells from premalignant to malignant states and keep their proliferation in check. We hope that our
