Abstract:
Nowadays,stem cells are recognized as the most promising seed cells of tissue engineering due to their self replication ability and multilineage differentiation potential.In order to apply them to tissue engineering,a variety of physical and biochemical methods were tried to promote the proliferation,function and differentiation,and good effects were achieved.Recently,as a rising method of physical stimulation,electrical stimulation received more and more attention and had been proved to have good effects on stem cell proliferation and differentiation.This paper summarized the advances in promoting effects of electrical stimulation on stem cell proliferation and differentiation,and discussed the possible mechanisms of stem cell differentiation induced by electrical stimulation.
