A Self‐Powered Piezo‐Bioelectric Device Regulates Tendon Repair‐Associated Signaling Pathways through Modulation of Mechanosensitive Ion Channels (Adv. Mater. 40/2021)
Source abstract
Abstract
Tendon Repair Piezoelectricity is present in all living beings and provides the basis for mechanisms of tissue regeneration. In article number 2008788, Marc A. Fernandez-Yague, Manus J. Biggs, and co-workers show that tendon cell function can be controlled by electrical stimulation and introduce a new implantable stimulator device powered by body movement paving the way for a new class of regenerative electrical therapies without the use of drugs or external stimulation.
