title: Retinoid signalling during embryogenesis.
abstract: Retinoids are suspected to have multiple functions during embryogenesis, which are carried out via various different signal transduction pathways involving active retinoids and nuclear retinoid receptors. Research focuses on the identification of the retinoid signal transduction components involved, and on their specific functions during development. Recent findings in this field are discussed.
