Figure 9

MSC were treated with inflammatory cytokines in the presence and absence of PEMFs. The results of the effect on inflammatory/anti-inflammatory activities of the active implants on MSC indicate a significant increase of in vitro expression of IL-10 (that exerts anti-inflammatory activity) in the presence of PEMFs generated by the MED device. Conversely, there is a reduction of expression of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1, in the presence of PEMFs. No significant difference in the expression of the other tested cytokines is evident.
