Detection and mode of action of retinoids on ovarian development in the mud crab, Scylla serrata
In the current study, the retinoic acid isomers such as 9-cis retinoic acid and all-trans retinoic acid were detected in the mature ovaries of mud crabs, Scylla serrata using HPLC analysis.

Potential Therapeutic Effect of All-Trans Retinoic Acid on Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a major risk factor for myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke, which are the leading cause of death worldwide. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is a natural derivative of essential vitamin A.

The T-cell oncogenic protein HOX11 activates Aldh1 expression in NIH 3T3 cells but represses its expression in mouse spleen development [PDF]
Hox11 is a homeobox gene essential for spleen formation in mice, since atrophy of the anlage of a developing spleen occurs in early embryonic development in Hox11 null mice.

Maternal smoking and the retinoid pathway in the developing lung
Background Maternal smoking is a risk factor for pediatric lung disease, including asthma. Animal models suggest that maternal smoking causes defective alveolarization in the offspring.

Metabolic interactions between vitamin A and conjugated linoleic acid [PDF]
Lipid-soluble molecules share several aspects of their physiology due to their common adaptations to a hydrophilic environment, and may interact to regulate their action in a tissue-specific manner.

Methylation of the Gpat2 promoter regulates transient expression during mouse spermatogenesis [PDF]
Spermatogenesis is a highly regulated process that involves both mitotic and meiotic divisions, as well as cellular differentiation to yield mature spermatozoa from undifferentiated germinal stem cells.

Studies on the mechanism of retinoid-induced pattern duplications in the early chick limb bud: temporal and spatial aspects. [PDF]
All-trans-retinoic acid causes striking digit pattern changes when it is continuously released from a bead implanted in the anterior margin of an early chick wing bud.
