商品簡介
This volume of Current Topics in Developmental Biology will focus on the role of retinoids during development and disease. Topics covered include the role of retinoic acid and its nuclear receptors in control of several developmental processes including germ cell differentiation/meiosis, somitogenesis, limb formation, hindbrain and spinal cord development, heart formation, eye and craniofacial development, and pancreas formation. Also covered is the role of various retinoids in adult processes including diseases of the visual cycle, obesity, and metabolism.
