Studying electric field effects on biological systems, from DC to high AC frequencies, can be confounded by the coexistence charge transfer (CT) reactions. CT redox processes can alter the chemical environment of the biological system being studied. Notable CT reaction effects are: oxygen depletion, pH changes, reactive oxygen species formation, reactive chlorine formation, and electrode...

Three-dimensional (3D) in vitro cell cultures are the foundation of tissue engineering, enabling the reconstruction of tissues outside the body for research and therapeutic applications. While underutilized in bioelectromagnetism (BioEM) research, 3D cultures offer a more biologically relevant alternative to traditional 2D models and a more ethical, scalable, and cost-effective option than...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult multipotent stem cells naturally able to give rise to different cell types of connective tissue, but also to other specialized cell types under certain conditions. MSCs also exhibit interesting secretory activities, or can even come to the rescue of damaged cells in their environment. Therefore, the use of MSCs in regenerative therapies has attracted...
