Ischemic heart disease remains the leading cause of mortality (12.7%) worldwide, causing more than 7 million deaths per year. Native angiogenesis after infarction most often is not sufficient for appropriate supply […]

Shock wave treatment (SWT) was shown to induce regeneration of ischaemic myocardium via Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3). The antimicrobial peptide LL37 gets released by mechanical stress and is known to […]
As many current approaches for heart regeneration exert unfavourable side effects, the induction of endogenous repair mechanisms in ischaemic heart disease is of particular interest. Recently, exosomes carrying angiogenic miRNAs […]
Shockwave therapy (SWT) represents a promising regenerative treatment option for patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Although no side‐effects have been described upon SWT, potential cellular damage at therapeutic energies has not […]
Low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (Li-ESWT) is used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, but its mechanisms are not well understood. Previously, we found that Li-ESWT increased the expression of […]
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to assess the effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on reducing spasticity immediately and 4 weeks after application of ESWT. [Subjects and Methods] […]
Ultrasound-based brain stimulation techniques offer an exciting potential to modulate the human brain in a highly focal and precisely targeted manner. However, for clinical applications the current techniques have to […]
Patients with probable Alzheimer disease (AD) had sustained memory improvements months after ultrasound brain stimulation in a small pilot study, found here. The noninvasive technique, called transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS), is […]
The use of non-invasive brain therapies has become a hot topic recently. Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are major medical challenges in the context of our ageing society. The available treatments are […]
Ultrasound based brain stimulation techniques bay become a powerful new technique to modulate the human brain in a focal and targeted manner. However, for clinical brain stimulation no certified systems exist and the current techniques […]
