Transcript of the narrative:
Electroporation is a surprising natural phenomenon. It involves increased cell membrane permeability due to high voltage electric pulses. Electroporation allows molecules to either permeate into the cell, or leave the cell — which is not possible under normal circumstances for numerous important molecules.
Electroporation can be successfully used to deal with the World’s current most pressing challenges related to health, food, energy, and environment. Increasing the effectiveness of chemotherapy, gene therapy, food processing and biotechnological processes, are only a few of its possible applications. Electroporation is an excellent opportunity for scientists, developers and investors.
