Electrical myostimulation is the use of electric currents to enhance muscle function. This type of therapy is called electrotherapy. It helps to strengthen and stimulate the recovery of muscles after ...

Using a few zaps of electricity to the skin, researchers can stop bacterial infections without using any drugs. For the first time, researchers designed a skin patch that uses imperceptible electric ...

Electrical muscle stimulation involves sending electrical impulses through the skin. This stimulation may provide benefits, such as helping repair tissue and strengthening the muscles. Share on ...

Scientists have discovered that electrical currents may make Natural Killer (NK) cells – our very own cancer-killing immune cells – even better killers, which could have significant implications for ...

In a study published recently in Angewandte Chemie, researchers demonstrated that an imaging technique called scanning electrochemical microscopy could become a very useful medical tool. Rather than ...

This work was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health (R01-MH114877; R01-AG063775) and a gift from an individual philanthropist, all to Robert M. G. Reinhart, Ph.D., Associate ...

An electric shock is a potentially fatal injury. Knowing how to apply first aid to a person who has been electrocuted is important to reduce the risk of severe complications and possibly death. An ...
