Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling determines neuroblastoma cell fate and sensitivity to retinoic acid. Nature Communications , 2025; 16 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-57185-y Cite This Page : ...

It takes an average of 12 weeks for retinoic acid to create noticeable changes in skin. Retinol is a fat-soluble molecule with antioxidant and wound-healing abilities.

Monaghan also found an enzyme called CYP26B1 reduces the amount of retinoic acid at the site to exactly the level needed for a particular body part. It’s the quantity of the retinoid that tells ...

Studying retinoic acid in axolotls Axolotls don’t naturally glow in the dark. To observe the signaling cues of retinoic acid, Monaghan’s team used genetically modified axolotls that gleam ...

The ability of retinoic acid to reactivate developmental programmes in the adult suggests that it could be important for the induction of regeneration and the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
