Abstract
WE have already reported a cytospecific effect of serotonin in enhancing the growth of fibroblasts in vitro1, apparently by shortening the lag phase. We have now investigated this effect and the kinetics of cell growth in order to provide information about the mechanism of action of serotonin.
