Researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) have developed a microsize-gap multiple-shot electroporation (M2E) device that could improve the effectiveness of delivering ...

It is well understood that external electric fields can affect the integrity of cell membranes. This is due to an inherent difference between the electric potentials of the interior of a cell membrane ...

Because it is versatile—it works with any cell, any organism—electroporation is uniquely advantageous. Electroporation uses an electrical pulse to introduce new species, usually polar molecules, into ...

When a cell is able to take up free DNA or RNA, it is termed “competent”. Some cell types or microbial species, such as Bacillus subtilis, 11 are naturally competent and they can be induced to uptake ...

CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, has introduced a new large-volume electroporation system that allows cell therapy developers to more ...

Using an electric current to deliver the CRISPR/Cas9 system, in order to engineer genetic changes in laboratory mice, is highly efficient and significantly improves the system's throughput over the ...

A standard model with little experimental verification A standard theoretical model of electroporation from the 1970s assumes that the electric field applies pressure to the lipids, thereby increasing ...

Electroporation is a technology used to increase the permeability of cell membranes. It is used to induce cells to take up a variety of substances, including chemicals, drugs, and DNA. When cells take ...
