Electromagnetic field-mediated chitosan/gelatin/nano-hydroxyapatite and bone-derived scaffolds regulate the osteoblastic and chondrogenic phenotypes of adipose-derived stem cells to construct osteochondral tissue engineering niche in vitro.

This in vitro study examined how electromagnetic field (EMF) coupling parameters and field direction interact with 2D versus 3D culture environments to influence adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) proliferation and osteogenic/chondrogenic differentiation. The abstract reports different “optimal” magnetic flux densities…

Combination of low intensity electromagnetic field with chondrogenic agent induces chondrogenesis in mesenchymal stem cells with minimal hypertrophic side effects.

This in vitro study evaluated whether extremely low-frequency EMF (50 Hz,

Changes in viability of rat adipose-derived stem cells isolated from abdominal/perinuclear adipose tissue stimulated with pulsed electromagnetic field.

This in vitro study exposed rat adipose-derived stem cells to a pulsed electromagnetic field (7 Hz, 30 mT) and assessed viability by flow cytometry. The authors report that a low-fat diet was protective in PEMF-exposed ADSCs, especially in pups. They also report a higher proportion of early apoptotic cells in…
