Neofunctionalization in vertebrates: the example of retinoic acid receptors. [PDF]
Understanding the role of gene duplications in establishing vertebrate innovations is one of the main challenges of Evo-Devo (evolution of development) studies.

Anti-tumor effect in human lung cancer by a combination treatment of novel histone deacetylase inhibitors: SL142 or SL325 and retinoic acids. [PDF]
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors arrest cancer cell growth and cause apoptosis with low toxicity thereby constituting a promising treatment for cancer.

Objective: The β-carotene oxygenase 1 (BCO1) is the enzyme responsible for the cleavage of β-carotene to retinal, the first intermediate in vitamin A formation. Preclinical studies suggest that BCO1 expression is required for dietary β-carotene to affect

Expression of retinoid receptors during rabbit lung development
Rabbit lung is often used to study the pathophysiology of some congenital anomalies affecting the lung because its development is very comparable with that of human.

Research progress in retinoic acid in cognitive impairment disorders [PDF]
Retinoic acid (RA), as the principal active metabolite of vitamin A, plays a critical role in regulating neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and anti-inflammatory responses.

Antagonism between retinoic acid receptors. [PDF]
In the developing mouse, retinoic acid receptors (RARs) beta and gamma 1 are expressed in characteristic spatiotemporal patterns which are correlated with different developmental fates of the respective tissues. Understanding the cues that regulate the expression of the various RARs may therefore provide insights into the process of tissue ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Meiosis occurs normally in the fetal ovary of mice lacking all retinoic acid receptors
Gametes are generated through a specialized cell differentiation process, meiosis, which, in ovaries of most mammals, is initiated during fetal life. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is considered as the molecular signal triggering meiosis initiation.

Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...
