Microorganisms (bacteria, yeast, and microalgae) are a promising resource for products of
high value such as nutrients, pigments, and enzymes. The majority of these compounds of …

Background Parasites are concerning food-borne pathogens. Some of them are currently
not being routinely controlled in food, probably because their burden on public health is …

Irreversible electroporation is a new technique to kill cells in targeted tissue, such as tumors,
through a nonthermal mechanism using electric pulses to irrecoverably disrupt the cell …

Nonthermal irreversible electroporation (NTIRE) is a new minimally invasive technique to
treat cancer. It is unique because of its nonthermal mechanism of tumor ablation. Intracranial …

The effect of pulsed electric field (PEF) treatments of different intensities on the
electroporation of the cytoplasmatic membrane of Chlorella vulgaris, and on the extraction of …

Background For electroporation-based therapies, accurate modeling of the electric field
distribution within the target tissue is important for predicting the treatment volume. In …

This study introduces the use of high-frequency pulsed electric fields for tissue
electroporation. Through the development of finite element models and the use of analytical …

Electroporation based treatments consist in applying one or multiple high voltage pulses to
the tissues to be treated. As an undesired side effect, these pulses cause electrical …

The goal of our investigation was to explore the level of membrane permeabilization in plant
and animal food matrices (potato, apple, chicken) as resulting from subjecting these …

Transcutaneous electrical stimulation can depolarize nerve or muscle cells applying
impulses through electrodes attached on the skin. For these applications, the electrode-skin …
