What is electroporosis?

Electroporosis is a technique that involves applying an electric field to cells, making their membranes more permeable. This temporary increase in permeability allows for the introduction of substances, such as drugs or DNA, into the cells. It is widely used in biotechnology and medical applications, particularly in gene therapy and cancer treatment, to enhance the delivery of therapeutic agents. The process is usually controlled to minimize damage to the cells while maximizing uptake efficiency.
