Effect of Cell Size and Shape on Electric Field Threshold and Critical Transmembrane Voltage for Electroporation
Introduction: Electroporation is a technique for increasing the permeability of the cell membrane to otherwise non-permeate molecules due to an external electric field. This permeability enhancement is detectable if the induced transmembrane voltage becomes greater than a critical value which depends on the pulse strength threshold. In this study, the variabil...

متن کاملElectric field-directed cell shape changes, displacement, and cytoskeletal reorganization are calcium dependent
C3H/10T1/2 mouse embryo fibroblasts were stimulated by a steady electric field ranging up to 10 V/cm. Some cells elongated and aligned perpendicular to the field direction. A preferential positional shift toward the cathode was observed which was inhibited by the calcium channel blocker D-600 and the calmodulin antagonist trifluoperazine. Rhodaminephalloidin labeling of actin filaments revealed...
متن کاملA Theory of High Electric Field Transport
The Generalized Quantum Langevin Equation (GLE) approach to the quantum transport of many electron systems is developed to study the high electric field transport. Two GLE equations, one for the center-of-mass momentum and the other for the center-of-mass energy, are obtained. The non-linear transport effects due to the presence of a high electric field are reflected directly in the memory func...
متن کاملNanoparticle Near-Surface Electric Field.
Theoretical studies show that surface reconstruction in some crystals involves splitting the surface atomic layer into two-upper and lower-sublayers consisting of atoms with only positive or only negative effective electric charges, respectively. In a macroscopic crystal with an almost infinite surface, the electric field induced by such a surface-dipole is practically totally concentrated betw...
