Enhancing osteoblast survival through pulsed electrical stimulation and implications for osseointegration

Abstract Electrical stimulation has been suggested as a means for promoting the direct structural and functional bonding of bone tissue to an artificial implant, known as osseointegration. Previous work has investigated the impact of electrical stimulation in different models, both in vitro and in v...
