There has been an awareness of the importance of consuming vitamins throughout human history, but empirical studies of their physiological role and mode of action only began about 150 years ago. Since then, the biochemical nature of vitamin A and its active derivative, retinoic acid, have been identified and researchers around the globe have investigated retinoic acid’s physiological function in growth processes and in maintaining life \u003c\/p\u003e\n\nWritten by leading experts, this book discusses the latest findings and advances in retinoic acid research. It addresses topics such as the role of retinoic acid signaling in a multitude of processes, including limb, heart and respiratory system development, as well as its role in maintaining postnatal organ systems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is a valuable resource for scientists involved in vitamin A\/retinoic acid research and readers interested in developmental biology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-04-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030437671\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-42282-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 229\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578508894348,"sku":"9783030437671","price":161.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030437671.jpg?v=1777982968","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030437671","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
