Summary:
We study dynamics of electroporation in a single spherical cell exposed to Amplitude-Modulated (AM) electric fields. This study is based on the mathematical model of electroporation developed in [Krassowska and Filev, Biophys. J., vol.92, pp.404-417, 2007]. Numerical simulations of the model suggest that an AM electric field induces the electroporation and a created pore substantially evolves under the AM field.
