Abstract excerpt
In previous experiments we showed that intestinal development was dependent upon epithelial-mesenchymal cell interactions. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible role of retinoic acid (RA), a morphogenetic and differentiating agent, on the gut epithelial-mesenchymal unit. For this purpose we first analyzed the effects of a physiological dose of RA on 14-day fetal rat intestine using short-term...
