Retinoic acid (RA) is known to induce differentiation in many ccll systems. This induction is mediated by nuclear RA receptors (RARs), which act as transactivating factors belonging to the superfamily of steroidithyroid nuclear receptors. In this study, effects of RA were studied in a mouse myogenic
The study of haemopoiesis enables us to address one of the central questions of developmental biology, concerning the molecular mechanisms by which a multipotent cell develops into distinct differentiated progeny. Recent work(') suggests specific roles for retinoic acid receptors at two distinct sta
Retinoic acid (RA), a derivative of vitamin A, is essential for normal niammalian development. Developmental abnormalities iriduccd by RA excess and vitamin A deficiencj are different even though thcy affect the same organ systems, and it is clear that there are intraembryonic tissue differences in
## Abstract This study describes a whole embryo and embryonic field analysis of retinoic acid's (RA) effects upon __Xenopus laevis__ forebrain development and differentiation. By using in situ and immunohistochemical analysis of __pax6__, __Xbf1__, and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), gene expression dur
## BACKGROUND AND METHODS. To assess the effect of retinoids on prostatic ductal branching morphogenesis, anterior prostates from newborn rats were cultured under serumfree conditions for 6 days in the presence of testosterone (10 -8 mM) plus 13-cis-retinoic acid (13-cis-RA), all-trans-retinoic ac
