Electroporation Phenomena

electroporation-asym

One of the widely used approaches for manipulating the permeability of cell membranes is application of an external electric field to the membranes, which leads to pore formation (electroporation). Our simulation studies focus on possible molecular mechanisms of electroporation phenomena in membranes of complex lipid composition (including transmembrane lipid asymmetry that is inherent for all living cells).
