Study Details

The present study was conducted to determine whether ELFEFs influence the neuronal differentiation of NSCs isolated from the brain cortices of newborn mice by modulating Cav1‐channel function.

In cultures of differentiating NSCs exposed to ELFEFs (1 mT, 50 Hz), the percentage of cells display...

Our data suggest that ELFEF exposure promotes neuronal differentiation of NSCs by upregulating Cav1‐channel expression and function.
