 Irreversible electroporation

Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a medical technique that involves the application of short bursts of high-voltage electrical pulses to biological tissues, resulting in the permanent disruption of cell membrane integrity. This process allows therapeutic agents to enter cells or can lead to cell death. ### Key Features of Irreversible Electroporation: 1. **Mechanism**: The electric pulses create pores in cell membranes.
