UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D012074	Remission Induction	Therapeutic act or process that initiates a response to a complete or partial remission level.	Induction of Remission,Induction, Remission,Inductions, Remission,Remission Inductions
D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000072482	Retinoic Acid Receptor alpha	A nuclear receptor protein which belongs to a family of transcription regulators of ligand-responsive regulatory proteins which include steroid hormone receptors. In addition to a C-terminal ligand-binding domain, these nuclear receptors contain a highly-conserved N-terminal zinc-finger domain that mediates binding ligand-responsive elements.	RAR alpha 1,RAR alpha 2,Retinoic Acid Receptor alpha 1,Retinoic Acid Receptor alpha 2,alpha 1, RAR,alpha 2, RAR
D014178	Translocation, Genetic	A type of chromosome aberration characterized by CHROMOSOME BREAKAGE and transfer of the broken-off portion to another location, often to a different chromosome.	Chromosomal Translocation,Translocation, Chromosomal,Chromosomal Translocations,Genetic Translocation,Genetic Translocations,Translocations, Chromosomal,Translocations, Genetic
D014212	Tretinoin	An important regulator of GENE EXPRESSION during growth and development, and in NEOPLASMS. Tretinoin, also known as retinoic acid and derived from maternal VITAMIN A, is essential for normal GROWTH; and EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT. An excess of tretinoin can be teratogenic. It is used in the treatment of PSORIASIS; ACNE VULGARIS; and several other SKIN DISEASES. It has also been approved for use in promyelocytic leukemia (LEUKEMIA, PROMYELOCYTIC, ACUTE).

D015473	Leukemia, Promyelocytic, Acute	An acute myeloid leukemia in which abnormal PROMYELOCYTES predominate. It is frequently associated with DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION.

D018168	Receptors, Retinoic Acid	Proteins in the nucleus or cytoplasm that specifically bind RETINOIC ACID or RETINOL and trigger changes in the behavior of cells. Retinoic acid receptors, like steroid receptors, are ligand-activated transcription regulators. Several types have been recognized.
