DC electric stimulation upregulates angiogenic factors in endothelial cells through activation of VEGF receptors.
Published in Cytokine
Small direct current (DC) electric fields direct some important angiogenic responses of vascular endothelial cells. Those responses indicate promising use of electric fields to modulate angiogenesis. We sought to determine the regulation of electric fields on transcription and expression of a serial of import angiogenic factors by endothelial cells...
