Abstract
Endogenous electric fields widely occur in bone, skin, cardiac, and nerve tissues, significantly influencing organ development, wound healing, and tissue regeneration. Generated primarily by transmembrane potentials resulting from ion concentration gradients (e.g. Na+, K+, Ca2+), these fields inspire electroactive biomaterials designed with built-in electric fields. Unlike external electrical stimulation, such biomaterials precisely regulate cellular behavior through direct electron/charge interactions and protein-mediated signal transduction. By tailoring physical and chemical properties, these biomimetic materials replicate natural bioelectric cues. This review summarizes endogenous electrical signals, details fabrication methods and regulatory mechanisms of electroactive biomaterials, highlights applications in bone, nerve, and skin regeneration, and discusses clinical challenges and future perspectives.
