Plasma Serotonin and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease
Background Platelet‐poor plasma serotonin levels are associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Although plasma serotonin levels increase in chronic kidney disease, the cardiovascular implications remain unknown.

The Effects of Serotonin in Immune Cells
Serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] plays an important role in many organs as a peripheral hormone. Most of the body’s serotonin is circulating in the bloodstream, transported by blood platelets and is released upon activation.

Psychiatric and cognitive function in patients with serotonin producing neuroendocrine tumors [PDF]
Cognitive and psychiatric problems are common in cancer patients, but literature on patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET) is scarce. In a subset of these patients, the tumor produces serotonin, causing physical symptoms known as carcinoid syndrome ...

Serotonin syndrome: a clinical review of current controversies [PDF]
Serotonin syndrome is a state of increased central and peripheral serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) activity. Unless recognized and treated early, serotonin syndrome can lead to seizures, shock and death.

The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence
The serotonin hypothesis of depression is still influential. We aimed to synthesise and evaluate evidence on whether depression is associated with lowered serotonin concentration or activity in a systematic umbrella review of the principal relevant areas

A genetically encoded sensor for measuring serotonin dynamics
Serotonin (5-HT) is a phylogenetically conserved monoamine neurotransmitter modulating important processes in the brain. To directly visualize the release of 5-HT, we developed a genetically encoded G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-activation-based 5-HT

Targeting SERT promotes tryptophan metabolism: mechanisms and implications in colon cancer treatment
Background Serotonin signaling has been associated with tumorigenesis and tumor progression. Targeting the serotonin transporter to block serotonin cellular uptake confers antineoplastic effects in various tumors, including colon cancer.
