This in vitro study reports that a single pulsed electromagnetic field (0.2 Hz) increased expression of tenogenic genes and reduced expression of a matrix-degradation/inflammatory gene (Mmp1) in tendon cells. After 5 days of exposure (3 min/day), collagen type I and total collagen synthesis protein levels were…

This in vitro study compared commonly used pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) exposures with electromagnetic fields tuned to satisfy the ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) condition for calcium. After 3 weeks, the calcium ICR condition was associated with increased glycosaminoglycans and type II collagen synthesis and…
