Vascular Electrical Stimulation with Wireless, Battery‐Free, and Fully Implantable Features Reduces Atherosclerotic Plaque Formation Through Sirt1‐Mediated Autophagy (small 40/2023)

Vascular Electrical Stimulations Hong Li, Liming Yang, and co-workers used battery-free implants and surgically mounted them on the abdominal aorta of high-fat-fed ApoE-/- mice, which were electrically stimulated using a wireless electrical stimulation device for four weeks to observe changes in atherosclerotic plaques. Direct vascular electrical stimulation has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for atherosclerosis by reducing atherosclerotic plaque formation through the activation of Sirt1/Atg5 pathway-mediated autophagy.
