2-ns Electrostimulation of Ca2+ Influx into Chromaffin Cells: Rapid Modulation by Field Reversal

Josette Zaklit et al.

Summary: The cellular effects of nanosecond-pulsed electric field exposures can be attenuated by bipolar pulse cancellation using equal duration and amplitude positive and negative phases, with response restoration achieved through appropriate interphase intervals. The modulation of Ca2+ responses in neural-type cells with ultrashort pulses demonstrates the potential for using nanosecond bipolar pulse technologies for neuromodulation applications.

Interference targeting of bipolar nanosecond electric pulses for spatially focused electroporation, electrostimulation, and tissue ablation

Andrei G. Pakhomov et al.

Summary: Stimulation and electroporation with nanosecond electric pulses show a phenomenon of bipolar cancellation, but proper shaping and synchronization of bipolar pulses can enhance electroporation effects through a CANCAN effect. The efficiency of this approach outweighs the weakening of the electric field with distance, allowing for strong electroporation in cell monolayers.

Differential effects of nanosecond pulsed electric fields on cells representing progressive ovarian cancer

Hongmei Liu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that nsPEFs may have differential effects on tumor cells at different disease stages, preferentially targeting highly aggressive and malignant ovarian cancer cells over benign counterparts. This provides an experimental basis for future electrical treatments of malignant tumors.

Peculiarities of Neurostimulation by Intense Nanosecond Pulsed Electric Fields: How to Avoid Firing in Peripheral Nerve Fibers

Vitalii Kim et al.

Summary: The research investigated the effects of PEF therapy on the excitation thresholds of nerve fibers and different pulse parameters, revealing that nanosecond-range PEF has a higher excitation threshold for nerve fibers, with symmetrical bipolar nsPEF being the least efficient, and brief bursts of pulses being the most effective in reducing neuromuscular stimulation.
