Abstract
Indium tin oxide electrodes have been used to investigate in vitro eff ects of steady electric fields on rat bone marrow stromal cells. At vo ltages <0.8V, no medium decomposition takes place and an electrical do uble layer is formed at the electrodes. At the anode, the attachment o f cells is enhanced but their proliferation is suppressed. Cell prolif eration is resumed on removal of the field.
