electroporation
e·lec·tro·po·ra·tion E5082100 (ĭ-lĕk′trō-pə-rā′shən)n. A process of applying a high-voltage electrical pulse to a living cell, causing temporary permeability of the cell membrane, through which a foreign material such as DNA may pass. [electro- + poration, inducement of permeability of a cell membrane (pore + -ation).]Translationselectroporation
electroporation[i‚lek·trō·pə′rā·shən] (biology) The application of electric pulses to increase the permeability of cell membranes. (cell and molecular biology) The application of electric pulses to animal cells or plant protoplasts to increase membrane permeability. electroporation
e·lec·tro·por·a·tion (ē-lek'trō-pōr-ā'shŭn), A technique in which a brief electric shock is applied to cells; momentary holes open briefly in the plasma membrane, allowing the entry of macromolecules (for example, a way of introducing new DNA into a cell).electroporation (ĭ-lĕk′trō-pə-rā′shən)n. A process of applying a high-voltage electrical pulse to a living cell, causing temporary permeability of the cell membrane, through which a foreign material such as DNA may pass.electroporation a method in which CELLS are subjected to an electrical impulse that leads to the temporary formation of pores in the cell MEMBRANE. Such pores enable commodities such as DNA, PROTEINS and ATP to pass into the cell, before the pores are repaired. Electroporation provides a means of transforming cells (see TRANSFORMATION). It can also be used to deliver DRUGS across the skin and to transfer GENETIC MATERIAL to targetted cells, in GENE THERAPY. |
