Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the leading causes of cancer-related mortality.
The principal treatment is surgical resection or liver transplantation, depending on whether …

When high-amplitude, short-duration pulsed electric fields are applied to cells and tissues,
the permeability of the cell membranes and tissue is increased. This increase in permeability …

The use of irreversible electroporation (IRE) for cancer treatment has increased sharply over
the past decade. As a nonthermal therapy, IRE offers several potential benefits over other …

Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a new tissue ablation technique in which micro to
millisecond electrical pulses are delivered to undesirable tissue to produce cell necrosis …

This is a brief introduction to the emerging field of irreversible electroporation in medicine.
Certain electrical fields when applied across a cell can have as a sole effect the …

We report the first successful use of irreversible electroporation for the minimally invasive
treatment of aggressive cutaneous tumors implanted in mice. Irreversible electroporation is a …

Electroporation is a well-known phenomenon that occurs at the cell membrane when cells
are exposed to high-intensity electric pulses. Depending on electric pulse amplitude and …
