Stimulation or Cancellation of Ca2+ Influx by Bipolar Nanosecond Pulsed Electric Fields in Adrenal Chromaffin Cells Can Be Achieved by Tuning Pulse Waveform

Abstract Exposing adrenal chromaffin cells to single 150 to 400 ns electric pulses triggers a rise in intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) that is due to Ca2+ influx through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCC) and plasma membrane electropores. Immediate delivery of a second pulse of the opposite polarity in...
