Disseminated Exfoliative Dermatitis Associated with All-Transretinoic Acid in the Treatment of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia by Yonal Ipek, Dogru Hulya, Aktan Melih

“…All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is a subgroup of the retinoid family, which induces complete remission (CR) in APL by causing differentiation and apoptosis in immature malignant promyelocytes rather than inducing cell death by cytotoxicity (Warrell et al. (1993), Liu et al. (2000), and Cassinat et al. (2001)). …”

A Y178C rhodopsin mutation causes aggregation and comparatively severe retinal degeneration by Sreelakshmi Vasudevan, Paul S.–H. Park

“…In vitro characterization indicated the Y178C rhodopsin mutant exhibits similar properties to the more severely aggregating G188R rhodopsin mutant, where the mutant is mislocalized to the endoplasmic reticulum in HEK293 cells and form aggregates that cannot be rescued by treatment with the retinoid 9-cis retinal. Despite these similarities in vitro, the Y178C rhodopsin mutant promoted a more severe retinal degeneration compared to the G188R mutant in vivo in mice. …”
