Injury that disrupts an epithelial layer instantaneously generates endogenous electric fields
(EFs), which were detected at human skin wounds over 150 years ago. Recent researches …

In this review we compile and discuss the published plethora of cell biological effects which
are ascribed to electric fields (EF), magnetic fields (MF) and electromagnetic fields (EMF). In …

Electrical stimulation can facilitate wound healing with high efficiency and limited side
effects. However, current electrical stimulation devices have poor conformability with …

Electrical stimulation (ES) has long been used as an alternative clinical treatment and an
effective approach to modulate cellular behaviours. In this work we investigated the effects of …

Macrophages are key cells in inflammation and repair, and their activity requires close
regulation. The characterization of cues coordinating macrophage function has focused on …

Genetic or pharmacological alteration of the activity of the histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6)
induces a parallel alteration in cell migration. Using tubacin to block deacetylation of α …

Background Motile cells exposed to an external direct current electric field will reorient and
migrate along the direction of the electric potential in a process known as galvanotaxis. The …

Endogenous electric currents generated instantly at skin wounds direct migration of
epithelial cells and are likely to be important in wound healing. Migration of fibroblasts is …

Wound healing on skin involves cell migration and proliferation in response to endogenous
electric current. External electrical stimulation by electrical equipment is used to promote …

This review concentrates on findings described in the recent literature on the response of
cells and tissues to electromagnetic fields (EMF). Models of the causal interaction between …
