Development and application of a novel multi-channel in vitro electrical stimulator for cellular research.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Exposure to electric fields affects cell membranes impacting their potential and altering cellular excitability, nerve transmission, or muscle contraction. Furthermore, electric stimulation influences cell communication, migration, proliferation, and differentiation, with potential therapeutic applications. In vitro platforms for electrical stimulation are valuable tools for studying these effects and advancing medical research. In this study, we developed and tested a novel multi-channel in vitro electrical stimulator designed for cellular applications. The device aims to facilitate research on the effects of electrical stimulation (ES) on cellular processes, providing a versatile platform that is easy to reproduce and implement in various laboratory settings.
