Neural tissue engineering options for peripheral nerve regeneration. (2014, background): “Direct current electric fields are present in all developing and regenerating animal tissues, and electric field treatment of damaged tissues in the nervous system may have clinical potential [252].”
Plasma medicine: an introductory review (2009, neutral): “McCaig et al [ 170] and Mamontov et al [171] have written comprehensive reviews on various phenomena that can occur when cells are subjected to electric ﬁelds, and they also discuss the electric ﬁelds that can be present in the human body.”
On Having No Head: Cognition throughout Biological Systems (2016, result): “A similar result was obtained for protein networks, showing that signaling via the tumor suppressor P53 could be modeled as a neural net (Ling et al., 2013), while MAP kinase pathways implement specific decision-making processes (McClean et al., 2007).”
Review on Cell Mechanics: Experimental and Modeling Approaches (2013, background): “Upon injury, wounds generate naturally occurring electric fields that guide cell migration [352] [353].”
Low intensity transcranial electric stimulation: Safety, ethical, legal regulatory and application guidelines (2017, methodology): “Nerves and Schwann cells have a galvanotaxis threshold of ca. 5 mV/mm (McCaig et al., 2005), which is close to the field generated by tDCS (~1mV/mm).”
Partial differential equations for self-organization in cellular and developmental biology (2008, background): “There are numerous forms of taxis that can be observed; a non-exhaustive list includes where the cue is due to cellular adhesion sites (haptotaxis) [65–67], substrate stiffness (mechanotaxis) [68–70], light (phototaxis) [71], an electric potential (galvanotaxis) [72], a magnetic field (magnetotaxis)”
Application of conductive polymers, scaffolds and electrical stimulation for nerve tissue engineering (2011, background): “…where one end of a salt bridge is connected to a scaffold placed in the culture medium, and the other end of the salt bridge is placed in a beaker of electrodes, along with their relevant salt (e.g. Ag/AgCl) and the electrodes in each beaker are attached to a DC power supply (Mccaig et al., 2005).”
