Vitamin A is a group of vital micronutrients widely present in the human diet. Animal-based
products are a rich source of the retinyl ester form of the vitamin, while vegetables and fruits …

Neural circuits must maintain stable function in the face of many plastic challenges,
including changes in synapse number and strength, during learning and development …

Proteins that bind both DNA and RNA typify the ability of a single gene product to perform
multiple functions. Such DNA-and RNA-binding proteins (DRBPs) have unique functional …

Vitamin A or retinol is arguably the most multifunctional vitamin in the human body, as it is
essential from embryogenesis to adulthood. The pleiotropic effects of vitamin A are exerted …

The history of vitamin A goes back over one hundred years, but our realization of its
importance for the brain and cognition is much more recent. The brain is more efficient than …

The study of gene regulation in cells has recently begun to shift from a period dominated by
the study of transcription factor‐DNA interactions to a new focus on RNA regulation. This …

In the immune system, the vitamin A metabolite retinoic acid (RA) is known for its role in
inducing gut-homing molecules in T and B cells, inducing regulatory T cells (Tregs), and …

Vitamin A is a multifunctional vitamin implicated in a wide range of biological processes. Its
control over the immune system and functions are perhaps the most pleiotropic not only for …

The retinoids are a class of compounds that are structurally related to vitamin A. Retinoic
acid, which is the active metabolite of retinol, regulates a wide range of biological processes …

Vitamin A is essential for the formation and maintenance of many body tissues. It is also
important for embryonic growth and development and can act as a teratogen at critical …
