Osteogenic Effect and Cell Signaling Activation of Extremely Low-Frequency Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields in Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

Figure 7

Illustration of the intracellular signaling pathways investigated on human adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells when subjected to ELF-PEMF. The coactivation of ERK and Akt in response to CIT program number 20 exposure promoted cell growth and survival and prevented apoptosis despite of certain levels of cellular stress.
