A Novel In Vitro System for Comparative Analyses of Bone Cells and Bacteria under Electrical Stimulation

Electrical stimulation is a promising approach to enhance bone regeneration while having potential to inhibit bacterial growth. To investigate effects of alternating electric field stimulation on both human osteoblasts and bacteria, a novel in vitro system was designed. Electric field distribution w...
