What is an electrical engineer?

Electroporation is a process that is designed to be temporarily porous by the plasma cell membrane so that the molecules can pass it freely. There are a number of applications for this process, from DNA transfection studied in the laboratory, to the possibility of targeted delivery of drugs such as chemotherapy, which could be forced directly into cancer cells using electrical techniques. Several manufacturers of equipment for the production of scientific devices that can be used for electrical engineering. Studies have shown that both in vitro and vivo, on living cells inside and outside the body of the host organism, including unicellular organisms. The electric current disrupts the plasma membrane of the cells and creates holes where they did not exist before.

If the substance is in a solution with cells, the introduction of the electric current will pass the cell membrane. Then the cells may be allowed to relax and recover. In some cases, up to 80% of cells can be successfully penetrated with the substance of interest. Once the cells recoverIt can be cultivated and tested to confirm that the electroporation has been successful.

There are some disadvantages for electrical engineering. One problem is that if the amount of electricity is not carefully calculated, cells may damage. This is undesirable when the goal is to end up with healthy cells that can be used in research, or when the goal is to introduce something into the cell in the body without damage to the cell. It is also not possible to control what passes through the cell membrane, which means that if there are dirt in the solution or electroporation does not occur in a controlled environment that could potentially harmful molecules could be up inside the cell.

In the laboratory, electroporation is used to introduce DNA into cells for genetic engineering. Theoretically, the same process could also be used for gene therapy in living organisms. Plasmids, medicines and other types of molecules can also be transferred overcell membrane using electroporation. One of the advantages of using this technique for in vitro work in the laboratory is that a large number of cells can be processed at the same time and reduced the amount of time to process cells for research.
