Preventing mitosis of pluripotent stem cells
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240024669A1) outlines a method for treating ectopic pregnancy using an alternating electric field. The method involves distributing the electric field to a specific target site in the subject, with the frequency ranging from 25 kHz to 1 MHz and a field strength of 0.1 V to 10 V/cm. The target site can include ectopic pregnancy or pluripotent stem cells, such as fetal, embryonic, or induced pluripotent stem cells. Additionally, the method may involve administering certain medications to the subject, who could be pregnant and exhibit elevated levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) or an abnormal pattern in the rise of HCG levels. Diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy can be confirmed via ultrasound.
Furthermore, the method described in the patent involves the use of an alternating electric field to prevent or disrupt mitosis of pluripotent stem cells at the target site, without relying on heat to kill or ablate the cells. The application of the electric field can be facilitated by arrays of electrodes present on the subject's skin. The patent also mentions the use of gefitinib, methotrexate, or a combination thereof in conjunction with the electric field treatment. Overall, the method offers a novel approach to treating ectopic pregnancy and related conditions by leveraging the unique properties of alternating electric fields to target specific sites within the body, potentially opening up new avenues for medical intervention in reproductive health.
