Dielectrophoretic effect of nonuniform electric fields on the protoplast cell
In recent years, dielectrophoresis based microfluidics systems have been used to manipulate colloids, inert particles, and biological microparticles, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, cancer cells, bacteria, yeast, microorganisms, proteins, DNA, etc. In the current study the governing electric potential equations have been solved in the presence of cell for the purpose of ...
متن کاملElectric fields and the cooperativity of biological membranes.
In an earlier paper,' we discussed the possible effects of an electric field on the separation of the two strands of DNA and on the elasticity of a protein or polypeptide chain consisting of a number of units, each of which can exist in two states (short or long). In connection with the latter case, it was pointed out that a small change in electric field could cause a large change in length of...
متن کاملElectric Phase Angle of Cell Membranes
From the theory of an electric network containing any combination of resistances and a single variable impedance element having a constant phase angle independent of frequency, it is shown that the graph of the terminal series reactance against the resistance is an arc of a circle with the position of the center depending upon the phase angle of the variable element. If it be assumed that biolo...
متن کاملDirected cell movement in pulsed electric fields.
Human granulocytes exposed to pulsed electric guiding fields were investigated. The trajectories were determined from digitized pictures (phase contrast). The basic results are: (i) No directed response was induced by pulsed electric guiding fields having a zero averaged field. (ii) A directed response was induced by pulsed electric guiding fields having a non-zero averaged field. (iii) The dir...
متن کاملCryosurgery with Pulsed Electric Fields
This study explores the hypothesis that combining the minimally invasive surgical techniques of cryosurgery and pulsed electric fields will eliminate some of the major disadvantages of these techniques while retaining their advantages. Cryosurgery, tissue ablation by freezing, is a well-established minimally invasive surgical technique. One disadvantage of cryosurgery concerns the mechanism of ...
