Electrical stimulation accelerates wound healing by reprogramming immune cells

israelhayom.co.il (undefined)

Researchers discovered electrical stimulation can reprogram immune cells to accelerate wound healing. This finding may lead to new treatments for various conditions. The study focused on macrophages, immune cells that can cause excessive inflammation. Electrical stimulation shifted these cells to an anti-inflammatory state, promoting faster tissue repair and new blood vessel growth. This research, conducted with human cells, suggests electrical stimulation could be a safe and effective therapy for enhancing the body's natural healing processes in numerous injury and disease scenarios.
