Researchers have long associated per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as "forever chemicals," with certain severe birth defects, but exactly how these pollutants harm a ...

Scientists at the Princeton University Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research have identified novel mechanisms by which a metabolic derivative of vitamin A—all-trans retinoic ...

For years, scientists have puzzled over the paradoxical relationship between cancer and retinoids, the metabolites that animals and people produce when their bodies break down vitamin A. About 40 ...

An enhanced version of vitamin K could help reverse brain damage from Alzheimer’s disease, a study has found. Alzheimer’s and many other neurodegenerative diseases are marked by a loss of brain ...

Introduction: Adult Cardiomyocytes (CMs) are post-mitotic cells, hence cardiac insults usually progress to heart failure. In contrary, spontaneously cycling CMs are a distinct population in the ...

Jilin Luhua chickens, a native Chinese chicken species, and X-stage fresh fertilized eggs were used in the research and provided by the Poultry Testing Ground of the Institute of Animal and Veterinary ...

APOLLO: Optimizing the Treatment of High-Risk Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia With All-Trans Retinoic Acid and Arsenic Trioxide While Minimizing the Role of Chemotherapy The following represents ...

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1) is an important aldehyde-metabolizing enzyme that plays a key role in various biological processes, such as regulating cellular growth, modulating retinoic acid (RA) ...

Regeneration is a trick many animals, including lizards, starfish, and octopuses, have mastered. Axolotls, a salamander species originating in Mexico, can regrow pretty much everything from severed ...

Researchers demonstrate how the co-exposure of bisphenol A and retinoic acid (RA) potentiate the effect of RA signaling in early development. Synthetic chemicals and plastics are useful and ...

Synthetic chemicals and plastics are useful and indispensable in our lives. On the other hand, the world is grappling with plastic pollution-clogging oceans, threatening wildlife, and leaching into ...
