Effects of novel antidepressant drugs on mesenchymal stem cell physiology
It is known that users of psychotropic drugs often have weight gain, adverse effects on bone mineral density and osteoporosis, but the molecular basis for these side effects is poorly understood. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects in vitro of duloxetine (a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor) and fluoxetine (a selective ...
