  • Electromagnetic fields increase in vitro and in vivo angiogenesis through endothelial release of FGF-2
    Publication number: 20050049640
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of inducing angiogenesis in a cell or tissue by applying an electromagnetic field to the cell or tissue under conditions effective to induce angiogenesis. Also disclosed is a method of treating an ischemic condition in a patient by applying an electromagnetic field to ischemic tissue in a patient under conditions effective to treat the ischemic condition by inducing angiogenesis. A method of tissue engineering is also disclosed. This method involves providing a tissue scaffold and subjecting the tissue scaffold to an electromagnetic field under conditions effective to form a vascularized tissue scaffold. Further disclosed is a method of inducing activity of angiogenic growth factors by applying an electromagnetic field to a cell or tissue under conditions effective to induce activity of an angiogenic growth factor.
