David Feldman, MD, is Emeritus Professor of Medicine (Active) at Stanford University School of Medicine where he has been on the faculty since 1974. He has been a full professor since 1984 and was chief of the Endocrinology Division for 10 years. His laboratory studies the role of steroid hormone receptors, particularly the vitamin D receptor, and its mechanism of action. His current major research focus is hormone-dependent cancer including breast cancer and prostate cancer and the pathways by which vitamin D inhibits cancer growth. Professor Feldman is actively involved in both basic science approaches to the anti-cancer actions of vitamin D as well as to clinical trials studying the use of vitamin D in breast and prostate cancer. Professor Feldman was recently honored with an award for a Career of Outstanding Contributions to Vitamin D Research. He has authored over 290 medical research articles, reviews, editorials, and book chapters. In addition to being a co-editor of all four editions of OSTEOPOROSIS, he is the editor-in-chief of Vitamin D, just published in its third edition. Dr. Pike’s laboratory is focused on the molecular mechanisms whereby vitamin D, the sex steroids, and other systemic hormones regulate the production as well as cellular activity of bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts. A long-term area of interest has been in the actions of vitamin D. His laboratory has shown that these actions are mediated by a specific receptor that is localized to the nucleus of target cells and which functions as a transcription factor following activation by its hormonal vitamin D ligand. This research led to the molecular cloning of this factor and elucidation of its regulation and mechanism of action.
"In this brief review, it is impossible to cover all the nuances of
vitamin D addressed in this book. Interested readers may want to
peruse the book chapters to assess relevance to their personal
interests. I regard this impressive text as a ‘‘must have’’ in the
medical libraries of most hospitals. Clinicians and researchers
with an interest in vitamin D may want their own personal copy for
ready reference. I highly recommend it and congratulate the authors
and editors in providing a much needed reference text on arguably
one of the more important nutrients to our species." --American
Journal of Human Biology
"In this remarkable compendium, the editors provide a fresh and
comprehensive review of a multifaceted and sometimes controversial
vitamin D. This third edition is not just an update, but a greatly
expanded work organized to authoritatively cover the evidence for
new roles of vitamin D in cardiovascular health, immunity,
psychiatric disorders, and much more. In more than 100 chapters,
experts span the history of vitamin D, update its molecular
mechanism and chemistry, provide specifics of clinical use in
disorders of the skeleton, and review progress in an array of
diseases including diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple
sclerosis, and psoriasis. In this edition one finds new information
for a broad audience including internal medicine, nutrition,
orthopedics, basic scientists, and teachers. How does one define
optimal vitamin D status? How does vitamin D affect innate
immunity? What are the epigenetic modifications of the vitamin D
receptor that contribute to its function? Are there other natural
ligands for the vitamin D receptor? These are a part of the new
increased scope of Vitamin D, Third Edition. If you are interested
in vitamin D, you should have this book." --Mark S. Nanes, MD, PhD,
Professor of Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA
"The Third Edition of the classic text Vitamin D is a superb
summary of an important and topical issue. Its contributors are
truly experts in the field and they have managed to comprehensively
describe the biochemistry, pharmacology and effects of vitamin D as
well as to eloquently weave in the relevant biology of bone,
muscle, immunology and other relevant tissues. The 105 readable
chapters offer a complete and well balanced mix of basic and
clinical topics that provides an opportunity to understand the full
breadth of vitamin D action. Each section represents an excellent
summary of up-to-date information and, as a whole, this text offers
an outstanding resource that will appeal to a broad spectrum of
readers – from students to established clinicians and
investigators." --Eric Orwoll, MD, Department of Medicine, Division
of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Clinical Nutrition, Oregon Health
and Science University, Portland, OR, USA
"The Third Edition of Vitamin D is well written, comprehensive and
balanced. Several of the new chapters, such as Epigenetic
Modifications and Wnt/ß-Catenin Signaling, have strayed away from
the "traditional" vitamin D but the authors have put these topics
very clearly into perspective in ways that will be valuable to
those studying vitamin D action. The overall list of authors for
this book is a virtual '"who's who" of vitamin D research, and the
coverage of the topic is appropriately broad, including those
matters in nutrition and epidemiology that have been the subject of
much interest in recent years." --T. Jack Martin, AO MD DSC FRACP
