Retinoids, Part B: Cell Differentiation and Clinical Applications, Volume 190: Volume 190: Retenoids Part B (Methods in Enzymology)

The appearance of another volume in that excellent series, Methods in Enzymology, is always a cause for appreciation for those who wish to successfully carry out a particular technique or prepare an enzyme or metabolic intermediate without the tiresome prospect of searching through unfamiliar literature and perhaps selecting an unproven method which is not easily reproduced. Intended for biochemists, nutritionists, molecular and cell biologists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, oncologists, and immunologists, this book studies the use of retinoids in basic research into molecular, cellular, and development biology, and into clinical medicine. The recycling of retinoids in retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), effectuating the regeneration of bleached visual pigment to the photoactive state, is called the visual cycle.
