    abstract = {As a cytokinin growth factor kinetin (N<SUP>6</SUP>-furfuryladenine) 
  with several biological effects observed for human cells and fruit flies. It 
  was named kinetin because of its ability to induce cell division. The mechanism 
  of kinetin synthesis in DNA is thought to be via the production of furfural, 
  an oxidative damage product of DNA deoxyribose and it is quenched by the adenine 
  base converting it into N<SUP>6</SUP>-furfuryladenine. Since 1994, kinetin has 
  been thoroughly tested for its powerful antiaging effects in human skin cells 
  and other systems. At present, kinetin is one of the most widely used components 
  in numerous skin care cosmetics and cosmeceuticals. Kinetin which was isolated 
  50 years ago for the first time as a plant hormone as well as other cytokinins 
  isopentenyladenine, zeatin and benzylaminopurine induce callus (clusters of 
  dedifferentiated plant cells) to redifferentiate into adventitious buds. Because 
  of some similarities in the biological phenotypes of cancer and callus cells, 
  cytokinins and especially kinetin, affect the differentiation of human cells 
  through a common signal transduction system. Therefore, cytokinins found their 
  way to use in molecular medicine.}
