microcurrent boosts immune cell cleanup activity via KLF4 gene signaling
Microcurrent stimulation upregulated KLF4 transcription factor expression in macrophages via ARNTL, which in turn increased expression of phagocytosis-related genes Gba and Rab3d, contributing to enhanced phagocytic capacity.
What this means for you
Your immune cells called macrophages act like the body's cleanup crew — they engulf and clear out cellular debris, pathogens, and worn-out cells. When microcurrent activates this KLF4 pathway, those cells become more effective at doing their job, which may support faster recovery, reduced inflammation, and a more responsive immune system overall.
