Retinoids are potent antiproliferative molecules with potential
implications in cancer prevention. The report by Boyle et al.
(1) provides new insights into the mechanism of
retinoid-mediated suppression of cell proliferation. The experiments
demonstrated that retinoids could reduce cyclin D1 levels in bronchial
epithelial cells and that the effect
