Electroporation is already an established technique in several areas of medicine, but many
of its biotechnological applications have only started to emerge; we review here some of the …

Each biological cell, trillions of which build our bodies, is enveloped by its plasma
membrane. Composed largely of a bilayer (double layer) of lipids just two molecules thick …

Strong external electric field can destabilize membranes and induce formation of pores thus
increasing membrane permeability. The phenomenon is known as membrane …

Reversible electropermeabilization (electroporation) is widely used to facilitate the
introduction of genetic material and pharmaceutical agents into living cells. Although …

A numerical study of electroporation-mediated molecular delivery is presented. The model
consists of the Nernst–Planck equations for species transport, coupled with an asymptotic …

Because the cell membrane is the main barrier of intracellular delivery, it is important to
facilitate and control the translocation of extracellular compounds across it. Our earlier …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to investigate the electroporation of
archaeal lipid bilayers when subjected to high transmembrane voltages induced by a …

Nanopores based on protein channels inserted into lipid membranes have paved the way
towards a wide-range of inexpensive biosensors, especially for DNA sequencing. A key …

Previous work demonstrated inactivation of influenza virus by GHz frequency
electromagnetic fields. Despite theoretical and experimental results, the underlying …

Electroporation threshold depends on the membrane composition, with cholesterol being
one of its key components already studied in the past, but the results were inconclusive. The …
