Vitamin A and immune regulation: role of retinoic acid in gut-associated dendritic cell education, immune protection and tolerance

B Cassani, EJ Villablanca, J De Calisto, S Wang… - Molecular aspects of …, 2012 - Elsevier
The vitamin A (VA) metabolite all-trans retinoic acid (RA) plays a key role in mucosal immune
responses. RA is produced by gut-associated dendritic cells (DC) and is required for …

Mechanisms of mucosal healing: treating inflammatory bowel disease without immunosuppression?

EJ Villablanca, K Selin, CRH Hedin - Nature Reviews Gastroenterology …, 2022 - nature.com
