Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of our study will be to analyze the interplay between particular VDR variants and its ligand in cells obtained from intervertebral disc and cartilage endplate and their action on cell proliferation and phenotype maintenance. The identification of novel molecular targets in the vitamin D pathway, potentially promoting pathological alterations of the tissues involved in spinal disc diseases, will allow to develop innovative and more personalized preventive and pharmacological/nutritional therapies.
