Article Synopsis
- - This study explores how low concentrations of fluoxetine (Prozac), found in polluted water, affect wound healing, highlighting a gap in understanding its impact on humans.
- - The research demonstrated that exposure to fluoxetine accelerated wound closure in human skin cells, showing dose-dependent effects starting from a concentration of 125 ng/l.
- - Mechanistically, fluoxetine enhances wound healing by increasing cell proliferation and altering serotonin signaling, which involves significant changes in gene expression and protein activity linked to cell growth and metabolism.
