Electroporation is a process of applying electric fields to cells or tissues to increase the permeability of cell membranes, allowing molecules to enter or exit the cells. Synonyms for this technique include electropermeabilization, electrotransfer, electrical transformation, and electrically mediated gene delivery. Electroporation has become a popular method for introducing genetic material into cells, including transfection and transduction, due to its efficiency and high success rate. Additionally, electroporation is used in a variety of applications, such as drug delivery, cancer treatment, and gene therapy. Overall, various terms describe the process of electroporation, but they all ultimately refer to the same technique of utilizing electric fields to enhance the uptake or distribution of specific molecules in cells.
