Jan 1, 2024
This narrative review discusses reported effects of EMF, including low-frequency EMF (LF-EMF), on cell behaviors relevant to wound healing and on recovery processes after traumatic brain injury (TBI). It summarizes literature suggesting EMF can promote migration and proliferation of fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and…

This randomized animal study evaluated whether recombinant murine EGF combined with ELF-EMF improves wound healing in rats. The combined ELF-EMF+rmEGF group showed better wound healing rates and more favorable histological features than comparison groups at multiple time points. All groups had complete wound closure…

This in vitro study used a scratch wound model in human immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT) to examine effects of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF). ELF-EMF exposure was reported to accelerate wound closure compared with sham and to increase inflammatory cytokine expression/release. The authors…

This animal study examined whether long-term 900 MHz GSM-like microwave exposure affects experimentally induced cutaneous candidiasis in BALB/c mice. Exposed mice reportedly had delayed wound healing and higher Candida loads in skin lesions compared with unexposed mice. Following systemic Candida challenge, exposed…

Jan 1, 2017
This animal study evaluated whether 50 Hz EMF exposure enhances wound healing after transplantation of human epidermal stem cells (ESC) seeded in collagen sponge scaffolds. Thirty-six nude mice with full-thickness wounds were assigned to control, ESC-only, or ESC+EMF groups (50 Hz, 5 mT, 60 min/day for 20 days). The…
