Therapeutic applications of retinoids in ophthalmology [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Vitamin A was used to treat night blindness by Egyptian physicians as early as 1500 BC. All compounds that exhibit pharmacological and physiological properties of the basic vitamin A alcohol moiety are nowadays referred to as retinoids.

Short‐term response to biologic therapy in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is not influenced by disease duration at initiation of therapy

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives We aimed to determine whether the short‐term response to biologics in biologic‐naïve psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is better in patients initiating biologic treatment early in the disease course. Methods PsA patients who started biologic therapy from the year 2000 to 2025 were included for analysis. Patients considered in the early treatment (ET)

Retinoid Antagonists

open access: yesYAKUGAKU ZASSHI, 1996
Retinoids, retinoic acid and its bioisosters, regulate many biological functions such as cell differentiation, proliferation and embryonic development in vertebrates, through binding to and activating their specific nuclear receptors. There are two classes of nuclear receptors for retinoids, retinoic acid receptors (RAR alpha, beta, gamma) and retinoid

Retinoids: Novel Immunomodulators and tumor-suppressive agents? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Retinoids play important roles in the transcriptional activity of normal, degenerative and tumor cells. Retinoid analogues may be promising therapeutic agents for the treatment of immune disorders as different as type I diabetes and Systemic Lupus ...

A Modular Liver–Microbial Microfluidic Platform to Evaluate Therapeutic and Adverse Effects of Microbial Metabolites

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a modular microfluidic platform that connects liver cells with live microbes to mimic key aspects of the gut–liver interaction in steatosis. Using this system, both microbial metabolites and live bacteria significantly reduced fat accumulation in liver cells, but live microbes triggered inflammation and broader metabolic changes ...

Retinoids in cancer therapy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
PURPOSE Recent reports of the dramatic antitumor effect of all-trans retinoic acid (RA) in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) have generated renewed enthusiasm for clinical studies of retinoids for oncologic therapeutic indications. Here we

Retinoids in hematology: a timely revival? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
International audienceThe retinoic acid receptors (RARA, RARB, and RARG) are ligand-regulated nuclear receptors that act as transcriptional switches. These master genes drew significant interest in the 1990s because of their key roles in embryogenesis ...

BIN1 and ALDH1B1 Deficiency in Colonic Smooth Muscle Drives Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Fibrosis in Slow‐Transit Constipation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Slow‐transit constipation (STC) is a disabling motility disorder with unclear smooth‐muscle mechanisms. Spatial proteomic analysis of STC patient colon reveals both the central pathogenic role of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in STC and novel regulators of intestinal motility, BIN1 and ALDH1B1.

Vitamin A, endocrine tissues and hormones: interplay and interactions

open access: yesEndocrine Connections, 2017
Vitamin A (retinol) is a micronutrient critical for cell proliferation and differentiation. In adults, vitamin A and metabolites such as retinoic acid (RA) play major roles in vision, immune and brain functions and tissue remodelling and metabolism. This
