The Biochemistry of Retinoid Signaling II, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2016 The Physiology of Vitamin A - Uptake, Transport, Metabolism and Signaling Subcellular Biochemistry Series, Vol. 81
In view of the recent information explosion in this field, it is timely to publish a contemporary, comprehensive, book series recapitulating the most exciting developments in the field and covering fundamental research in molecular mechanisms of vitamin A action, its role in physiology, development, and continued well-being, and the potential of vitamin A derivatives and synthetic mimetics to serve as therapeutic treatments for cancers and other debilitating human diseases.
