Electroporation and cell killing by milli- to nanosecond pulses and avoiding neuromuscular stimulation in cancer ablation

Emily Gudvangen et al.

Summary: Ablation therapies aim to eradicate tumors with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissues. The study found that bipolar nanosecond PEF (nsPEF) can achieve at least four times the ratio between cell killing and stimulation thresholds, compared to conventional pulsed electric field (PEF) treatments. Additionally, restricting the frequency of bipolar nsPEF bursts to the refractory period after nerve excitation can minimize the number of neuromuscular reactions.

Oxidative Effects during Irreversible Electroporation of Melanoma Cells-In Vitro Study

Wojciech Szlasa et al.

Summary: The study found that the high cytotoxic effect of IRE is associated with cell membrane disruption and ROS oxidation, which occurs even in the low electric field range. Cell viability depends on membrane integrity, and when the effect of the electric field on the membrane is reversible, the cell does not undergo cell death.

Pancreatic cancer epidemiology: understanding the role of lifestyle and inherited risk factors

Alison P. Klein

Summary: Pancreatic cancer is a leading cause of cancer death globally, with significant risk factors including smoking, obesity, diabetes, and genetic factors. Efforts to understand and address these modifiable and inherited risk factors are crucial for early detection and prevention strategies for pancreatic cancer.

Single-cell electroporation with high-frequency nanosecond pulse bursts: Simulation considering the irreversible electroporation effect and experimental validation

Yan Mi et al.

Summary: The study improved the original electroporation mathematical model and proposed a new one considering IRE effect. By simulating the dynamic processes of cells under high-frequency nanosecond pulse bursts, the research revealed the impact of multipulse bursts and intraburst frequency on cell electroporation characteristics.

Effects of high-frequency nanosecond pulses on prostate cancer cells

Aleksander Kielbik et al.

Summary: High-frequency nsPEFs induce significant cytotoxicity in PCa cells, leading to increased cell permeabilization and cell death. The presence of MHz compression and extracellular Ca2+ enhances the cytotoxicity. This technology demonstrates therapeutic potential in the treatment of PCa.
