Vitamin A and Retinoids: An Update of Biological Aspects and Clinical Applications
Rapid progress has been made in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of cell growth and oncogenesis during the past decade. Special attention has been given to the presentation of the frequently neglected close correlation between changes in signal transduction and metabolic pathways during...
