Abstract
En 中文
Current-Clamp electroporation refers to the application of a constant current across a membrane which results in voltage fluctuations due to the creation of electropores. This method allows for the measurement of electroporation across a long timescale (minutes) and facilitates the comparison between experimental and theoretical studies. Of particular interest is the claim in the literature that current-clamp electroporation results in the creation of a single pore. We simulated current-clamp electroporation using the Smoluchowski and Langevin equations and identified two possible mechanisms to explain the observed voltage fluctuations. The voltage fluctuations may be due to a single pore or a few pores growing and shrinking via a negative feedback mechanism or the opening and closing of pores in a larger population of pores. Our results suggest that current-clamp conditions do not necessarily result in the creation of a single pore. Additionally, we showed that the Langevin model is more accurate than the Smoluchowski model under conditions where there are only a few pores.
