Modulation of Retinoic Acid Receptor Signaling Pathway via All-Trans Retinoic Acid in Merkel Cell Carcinoma Cells

Biology and Life Sciences Forum, 2023
The biological activity of retinoic acid or all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is mediated by retinoic receptors, which are ligand-dependent transcription factors that activate genes crucial for cell differentiation.
