Retinoids and their receptors in differentiation, embryogenesis, and neoplasia

Abstract excerpt

The crucial role of retinoids in controlling differentiation processes has become evident from studies conducted in a variety of in vivo and in vitro systems. Most striking is the role of retinoic acid as a morphogenic substance in vertebrate limb development, but equally important is its role in the maintenance of epithelial integrity in most superficial linings of the body. The similarity of the mode of action...
