To summarize recent advancements in understanding retinoid signaling pathways.
To review the impact of retinoid treatment on cell cycle regulators and cyclin proteins.

Main Methods:

Literature review of recent research on retinoid signaling.
Analysis of retinoid effects on nuclear receptors, corepressors, and coactivators.
Examination of retinoid-induced changes in cell-cycle control elements and cyclin proteins.

Main Results:

Recent studies have elucidated the molecular mechanisms of retinoid action.
Understanding retinoid signaling via nuclear receptors, corepressors, and coactivators is advancing.
Retinoid treatment influences cell-cycle control and cyclin protein expression.

Conclusions:

Further understanding of retinoid signaling pathways is crucial for improving cancer therapy.
Retinoids represent a promising therapeutic strategy for various cancers.
Elucidating molecular mechanisms will enhance the therapeutic index of retinoid-based treatments.
