## Abstract Natural and synthetic retinoids are potent inhibitors of experimental carcinogenesis in animals and cause reversion of premalignant lesions in humans. In the model C3H 10T1/2 cell system, retinoids enhance postconfluent growth control, reversibly inhibit carcinogenβinduced transformatio

## Abstract Consumption of dietary carotenoids has been statistically associated with decreased risk of cancer at several anatomic sites. In a model murine system of carcinogenesis (the 10T1/2 assay), we have previously shown that carotenoids can inhibit chemically and physically induced neoplastic
Gap junctional communication (GJC) between contacting cells has been postulated to be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation. This suggestion stems from numerous studies showing modulation of GJC by agents that influence cellular proliferation. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), a stro
