Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy as a New Form of Electromagnetic Wave Therapy: From Gene Upregulation to Accelerated Matrix Mineralization in Bone Healing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Electromagnetic field therapy is gaining attention for its potential in treating bone disorders, with Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) emerging as an innovative approach. EMTT offers a higher oscillation frequency and magnetic field strength compared to traditional Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy, showing promise in enhancing fracture healing and non-union recovery. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear.

Results

This study demonstrates that EMTT significantly enhances osteoblast bone formation at multiple levels, from gene expression to extracellular matrix mineralization. Key osteoblastogenesis regulators, including SP7 and RUNX2, and bone-related genes such as COL1A1, ALPL, and BGLAP, were upregulated, with
