New article from the Meyer Lab - the difficult nature of disrupting vitamin D metabolism even with Cre-mediated deletions of the Cyp27b1 gene that makes the active vitamin D hormone. This work highlights the critical importance of our previously published Cyp27b1 enhancer-deletion model (JBC, 2019).
