Application

  • Enhancing cell culture systems: Research highlights the potential of Retinol as an essential component in cell culture systems, enhancing cell proliferation and differentiation. This supports its use in high-purity Retinol cell culture supplement applications (Ke et al., 2024).
  • Stabilized Retinol in dermatological applications: A study on topical 0.1% stabilized Bioactive Retinol demonstrates its efficacy and tolerability for treating photoaging, indicating its potential as a high-purity Retinol reagent for skin care research (Farris et al., 2024).
  • Drug-nutrient interaction research: Investigation into the interaction between Retinol and pharmaceuticals, like Acetylsalicylic Acid and Warfarin, provides insights into its role in vitamin-based assays, contributing to safer pharmacological studies involving Retinol-based assays (Renaud et al., 2024).
  • Assessment of Retinol signaling pathways: An in silico and in vitro approach examines natural ligands for receptors influenced by Retinol, aiding in the study of Retinol signaling pathways and its application as a research reagent in environmental safety (Choi et al., 2024).
