Probing Nanoelectroporation and Resealing of the Cell Membrane by the Entry of Ca<sup>2+</sup> and Ba<sup>2+</sup> Ions

Probing Nanoelectroporation and Resealing of the Cell Membrane by the Entry of Ca<sup>2+</sup> and Ba<sup>2+</sup> Ions

The principal bioeffect of the nanosecond pulsed electric field (nsPEF) is a lasting cell membrane permeabilization, which is often attributed to the formation of nanometer-sized pores. Such pores may be too small for detection by the uptake of fluorescent dyes. We tested if Ca<sup>2+</sup&...
