Electrical stimulation as a novel tool for regulating cell behavior in tissue engineering

Biomaterials Research, 2019
Recently, electrical stimulation as a physical stimulus draws lots of attention. It shows great potential in disease treatment, wound healing, and mechanism study because of significant experimental performance.

Non-invasive temporal interference electrical stimulation of the human hippocampus

Brain Stimulation, 2022
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) via implanted electrodes is used worldwide to treat patients with severe neurological and psychiatric disorders. However, its invasiveness precludes widespread clinical use and deployment in research.

Improved pharmacodynamics of epidermal growth factor via microneedles-based self-powered transcutaneous electrical stimulation

Nature Communications, 2022
Epidermal growth factor is an excellent drug for promoting wound healing; however, its conventional administration strategies are associated with pharmacodynamic challenges, such as low transdermal permeability, reduction, and receptor desensitization ...

Functional electrical stimulation therapy for restoration of motor function after spinal cord injury and stroke: a review

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2020
Functional electrical stimulation is a technique to produce functional movements after paralysis. Electrical discharges are applied to a person’s muscles making them contract in a sequence that allows performing tasks such as grasping a key, holding a ...

Electrical stimulation in bone tissue engineering treatments

European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2020
Electrical stimulation (EStim) has been shown to promote bone healing and regeneration both in animal experiments and clinical treatments. Therefore, incorporating EStim into promising new bone tissue engineering (BTE) therapies is a logical next step ...

Searching for plasticity in dissociated cortical cultures on multi-electrode arrays [PDF]

, 2006
We attempted to induce functional plasticity in dense cultures of cortical cells using stimulation through extracellular electrodes embedded in the culture dish substrate (multi-electrode arrays, or MEAs). We looked for plasticity expressed in changes in

Electrical Stimulation of Muscle: Electrophysiology and Rehabilitation.

Physiology, 2020
The generation of action potentials in intramuscular motor and sensory axons in response to an imposed external current source can evoke muscle contractions and elicit widespread responses throughout the nervous system that impact sensorimotor function ...

Use it or lose it: tonic activity of slow motoneurons promotes their survival and preferentially increases slow fiber-type groupings in muscles of old lifelong recreational sportsmen

European Journal of Translational Myology, 2016
Histochemistry, immuno-histochemistry, gel electrophoresis of single muscle fibers and electromyography of aging muscles and nerves suggest that: i) denervation contributes to muscle atrophy, ii) impaired mobility accelerates the process, and iii ...
