Low-frequency electromagnetic field exposure accelerates chondrocytic phenotype expression on chitosan substrate.

Abstract excerpt

To find whether low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields help repair larger cartilage defects with the assistance of tissue-engineered scaffolds, we tested their effect on the behavior of chondrocyte cells cultured on chitosan films. Primary porcine chondrocytes growing on chitosan films were exposed to low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields (frequency=75 Hz; impulse width=1.3 ms; strength=1.8-3 mT) 2...
