Electric-field induced strain in biological tissues

Abstract: This paper reports a new effect whereby a physiological-level direct-current electrical field (at 1.4 V/cm) can induce time-varying mechanical strain in various types of biological tissues and gel phantoms. This effect cannot be explained by the piezoelectric effect, tissue contraction, temperature changes, and electrorestriction. The induced strain in tissues was analyzed by processing ultrasound echo signals. The sample expanded perpendicularly to the applied electric field. The expansion rate depended on th… Show more

“…Last but not the least I express my sincere thanks to my colleagues Krzysztof Wawrzyn, Barry Vuong and Carry Sun who have patiently extended all sorts of help for accomplishing this undertaking. [28], used to detect the electric-field induced mechanical changes (EIMC) in bulk tissues including deformation and strain. .........…”

“…However, the mechanism of ESF effect on biological objects has not yet been fully understood. The reason may be that ESF induces various changes depending on exposure strength, duration, and other experimental conditions [Mcleod, 1992;Doganay and Xu, 2010]. In some reports, microscopic views of structural changes in the cells were illustrated, including changes in cell orientation [Methot et al, 2001], shape [Katnik and Waugh, 1990;Harutyunyan, 2015], cell migration [Erickson and Nuccitelli, 1984], and cell differentiation [Funk et al, 2009].…”
