Abstract Skin serves as the primary barrier against hazardous substances, and timely wound closure is an essential initial step in wound regeneration. However, intrinsic skin regenerative capacity is severely limited in critical-size acute wounds due to insufficient cell migration and tissue regeneration. Electrical stimulation restores endogenous wound electric fields and promotes cell migration and proliferation, thereby accelerating wound regeneration.

Introduction The Amazonian catfish Panaque nigrolineatus consumes large quantities of wood as part of its diet, a trait shared among a limited number of related fish species (Schaefer and Stewart, 1993). Depending on environmental conditions, P. nigrolineatus can adjust its feeding behavior, switching between xylivorous (“wood-eating”), detritivorous, and herbivorous feeding behaviors.
