Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dermal fibroblasts activated by conductive polymer-mediated electrical stimulation (ES) have shown myofibroblast characteristics that favor wound healing. However, the signaling pathway related to this phenotype switch remains unclear, and the in vivo survival of the electrically activated cells has never been studied. METHODS: Primary human skin fibroblasts were exposed to pulsed-ES mediated through...
