All-Trans Retinoic Acid Inhibits Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell Commitment to Adipocytes via Upregulating FRA1 Signaling

Obesity, caused by an increased number and volume of adipocytes, is a global epidemic that seriously threatens human health. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can differentiate into adipocytes. All-trans retinoic acid (atRA, the active form of vitamin A) inhibits the adipogenic differentiat...
