“…A developmental role of 5-HT has been described previously in non-neural tissues as diverse as the palate and craniofacial mesenchyme (Zimmerman et al, 1983;Shuey et al, 1992;Moiseiwitch and Lauder, 1995), the heart (Yavarone et al, 1993;Choi et al, 1997), and the endothelium and vascular smooth muscle (Bottaro et al, 1985;Bell and Madri, 1989;Tamura et al, 1997). cell migration, typically mediated by 5-HT 2 receptor subtypes, has been reliably documented in all these instances (Zimmerman et al, 1983;Bottaro et al, 1985;Bell and Madri, 1989;Shuey et al, 1992;Yavarone et al, 1993;Moiseiwitch and Lauder, 1995;Choi et al, 1997;Tamura et al, 1997).…”
