Electric healing
W ounds have electrical fi elds that help cells to fl ood into and heal them, according to Min Zhao (University of Ab-erdeen, UK), Josef Penninger (Institute of Molecular Biotechnology, Vienna, Austria), and colleagues. For over a decade, Zhao has been studying how cells migrate in response to electrical fi elds. It has been a lonely fi eld, however. Electricity does not fi t easily into the ge...
متن کاملElectric Current Wound Healing
The authors review the existing physical modalities for treatment of chronic wounds and show the advantages of electric current and electromagnetic field stimulation. Direct currents, low frequency pulsed currents, monophasic high voltage pulses and pulsed electromagnetic fields are compared in respect of their efficiency. Wound healing quantification methods, wound healing dynamics and prognos...
متن کاملWound healing with electric potential.
The efficient and effective repair of damaged tissue is fundamental to human survival. Wound repair has therefore challenged generations of health care providers, and various strategies have been used to accelerate and perfect the healing process. One such strategy has involved the application of an exogenous electrical stimulus to chronic wounds with the aim of instigating electrotaxis (also c...
متن کاملBio-Electric Correlates of Wound Healing *
The presence of bio-electric correlates of growth has long been known (Mathews,4 and Lund3). More recently, the development of a new technic has made it possible to determine these correlates with somewhat greater accuracy. They have been studied in Amblystoma (Burr and Hovland2), and in chicks (Burr and Hovland'). The implication of these studies is that rapidly dividing masses of cells are re...
متن کاملA role for endogenous electric fields in wound healing.
This review focuses on the experimental evidence supporting a role for endogenous electric fields in wound healing in vertebrates. Most wounds involve the disruption of epithelial layers composing the epidermis or surrounding organs in the body. These epithelia generate a steady voltage across themselves that will drive an injury current out of the wounded region, generating a lateral electric ...
