Role of pulse shape in cell membrane electropermeabilization.
The role of the amplitude, number, and duration of unipolar rectangular electric pulses in cell membrane electropermeabilization in vitro has been the subject of several studies. With respect to unipolar rectangular pulses, an improved efficiency has been reported for several modifications of the pulse shape: separate bipolar pulses, continuous bipolar waveforms, and sine-modulated pulses. In t...
متن کاملCell membrane electropermeabilization with arbitrary pulse waveforms.
xposure of a biological cell to an electric field can produce a variety of responses [1]-[6]. If the field strength exceeds a certain threshold value, this leads to a large transient increase in membrane conductivity and permeability for ions and molecules (electropermeabilization, often also named electroporation) or to fusion of adjacent cells (electrofusion) [5], [6]. Nowadays, these phenome...
متن کاملMembrane destabilizations supporting electropermeabilization.
The cell membrane can be permeabilized when subjected to calibrated short electric pulses. This membrane alteration can be reversible, leaving cell viability unaffected. This set of events is called Electropermeabilization. This is now used in clinical applications to introduce hydrophilic drugs into the cytoplasm. While an empirical control of the electrical parameters is obtained, our knowled...
متن کاملThe simulation of novel annular shape on the Performance in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell
In this article, one-phase and three dimensional computational fluid dynamics analysis was utilized to investigate the effect of annular field pattern of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) with different geometry on the performances and species distribution. This computational fluid dynamics code is used for solving the equation in single domain namely the flow field, the mass conserva...
متن کاملModeling the induction of lipid membrane electropermeabilization.
Experiments show significant effects of an electric field on lipid membrane, leading to a pore formation when a high intensity field is applied. The phenomenon of electroporation is preceded by the induction and expansion of defects, responsible for the pre-pore excitation. We examine the mechanism of the induction of the field-driven defects by Monte Carlo simulations. The study is based on th...
