Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2019 Electroporation is a process in which brief electrical pulses create transient pores in the plasma membrane that allow nucleic acids to enter the cellular cytoplasm. Here, we provide information on the history, mechanism, and optimization of electroporation.

Electroporation of Mycobacteria [PDF]
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2008 High efficiency transformation is a major limitation in the study of mycobacteria. The genus Mycobacterium can be difficult to transform; this is mainly caused by the thick and waxy cell wall, but is compounded by the fact that most molecular techniques have been developed for distantly-related species such as Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. In

A transportable, inexpensive electroporator for in utero electroporation [PDF]
Development, Growth & Differentiation, 2015 Electroporation is a useful technique to study gene function during development but its broad application is hampered due to the expensive equipment needed. We describe the construction of a transportable, simple and inexpensive electroporator delivering square pulses with varying length and amplitude.

Irreversible Electroporation [PDF]
Seminars in Interventional Radiology, 2015 Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a predominantly nonthermal ablative technology that uses high-voltage, low-energy DC current pulses to induce cell death. Thermal ablative technologies such as radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, and cryoablation have several applications in oncology but have limitations that have been established. IRE has

Transfection by Electroporation [PDF]
Current Protocols in Cell Biology, 1992 AbstractElectroporation–the use of high‐voltage electric shocks to introduce DNA into cells–can be used with most cell types, yields a high frequency of both stable transformation and transient gene expression, and, because it requires fewer steps, can be easier than alternate techniques.

Overview of Electroporation [PDF]
Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment, 2002 This special issue of Technology in Cancer Research and Treatment focuses on the versatility of electroporation. Contributed papers report on the basic mechanisms as well as the use of this procedure ex vivo and in vivo. In addition, recent studies utilizing in vivo electroporation for plasmid DNA and drug delivery are presented.

Electroporation in Microfluidic Devices [PDF]
, 2016 Crossing the plasma cellular membrane for loading of exogenous substances or accessing the intracellular medium is essential for cell engineering and transfection, cell analysis, or controlled extraction of the cellular content. Various chemical and physical techniques have been developed to open up the cell membrane and allow molecular exchange ...

Electroporation of cell membranes [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 1989 Electric pulses of intensity in kilovolts per centimeter and of duration in microseconds to milliseconds cause a temporary loss of the semipermeability of cell membranes, thus leading to ion leakage, escape of metabolites, and increased uptake by cells of drugs, molecular probes, and DNA.

In Vivo Electroporation of Neurons
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2007 INTRODUCTIONThis protocol describes the electroporation of DNA constructs to drive in vivo gene expression in neurons during early chick development. Electroporation is a method of physically introducing DNA constructs into cells through the application of an electric field.

A characterization of the reversibly electroporated penumbra during irreversible electroporation
Cancer Treatment and Research CommunicationsIrreversible electroporation (IRE) is a novel anticancer ablative treatment, which has been proposed to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in the periphery of the ablated area by capturing chemotherapy intracellularly. The aim of the current trial was to characterize the ablated lesion to get spatial information about the distribution of captured ...
