Electric current‐induced lymphatic activation

Abstract: The lymphatic system in skin plays important roles in drainage of wastes and in the afferent phase of immune response. We previously showed that activation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), specifically the VEGFC/VEGFR-3 pathway, attenuates oedema and inflammation by promoting lymphangiogenesis, suggesting a protective role of lymphatic vessels against skin inflammation. However, it remains unknown how physical stimuli promote lymphatic function. Here, we show that lymphatic endothelial c… Show more

“…Even though lymphatic drainage is not an essential factor in wound healing, lymphedema is linked to persistent wounds and inhibits wound healing [ 32 ]. In addition, via the FAK pathway, electrical stimulation has been demonstrated to promote the proliferation and migration of lymphatic endothelial cells [ 33 , 34 ].…”

“…Kajiya et al [ 47 ] studied the behaviors of human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) on two electrode materials. In one system, the cells were plated on a fibronectin-coated ITO electrode, with a platinum electrode placed above the cells to form capacitors.…”
