Exposure of biological cells to high-voltage, short-duration electric pulses causes a transient
increase in their plasma membrane permeability, allowing transmembrane transport of …

Exposure of a cell to an electric field results in inducement of a voltage across its membrane
(induced transmembrane voltage, Δ Ψ m) and, for sufficiently strong fields, in a transient …

Electroporation is being successfully used in biology, medicine, food processing, and
biotechnology, and in some environmental applications. Recent applications also include in …

We describe a finite-element model of a realistic irregularly shaped biological cell in an
external electric field that allows the calculation of time-dependent changes of the induced …

The plasma membrane of a biological cell is a complex assembly of lipids and membrane
proteins, which tightly regulate transmembrane transport. When a cell is exposed to strong …

Conventional electric stimuli of micro-and millisecond duration excite or activate cells at
voltages 10–100 times below the electroporation threshold. This ratio is remarkably different …

Microsecond pulsed electric fields (PEF) have previously been used for various tumour
therapies, such as gene therapy, electrochemotherapy and irreversible electroporation …

Electroporation is the phenomenon in which cell membrane permeability to ions and
macromolecules is increased by exposing the cell to short (microsecond to millisecond) high …

The study presents the proof of concept for a possibility to achieve a better electroporation in
the MHz pulse repetition frequency (PRF) region compared to the conventional low …

We study the role of a biomimetic actin network during the application of electric pulses that
induce electroporation or electropermeabilization, using giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) …
