Description
Vitamin A is a component of serum used to supplement classical media. Consequently, most serum-containing cell culture systems receive some level of vitamin A. The oxidized form of retinol is retinoic acid, which has hormone-like growth factor and differentiation activity for epithelial and related cell types, especially neural cells. Retinoic acid induces embryonic stem cells to differentiate towards neural cells.
