| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Previous work suggested that serotonin plays an important part in craniofacial development. Here, we assessed the localization of serotonin and serotonin transporter during tooth and periodontal tissue formation. Our studies indicated that 1) Serotonin expressed in the dental tissues in the initial stage. 2) Serotonin transporter expressed in the dental tissues with progression of tooth and periodontal tissue formation. 3) Both serotonin and serotonin transporter localization were observed in dental epithelial cells. These findings suggested that serotonin and serotonin transporter may have important roles during the process of formation of tooth and periodontal tissue.
