DNA electrophoretic migration patterns change after exposure of Jurkat cells to a single intense nanosecond electric pulse.

Intense nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEFs) interact with cellular membranes and intracellular structures. Investigating how cells respond to nanosecond pulses is essential for a) development of biomedical applications of nsPEFs, including cancer therapy, and b) better understanding of the me...
