247 - Electric breakdown of bilayer lipid membranes II. Calculation of the membrane lifetime in the steady-state diffusion approximation
TLDR
In this paper, it is assumed that the BLM breakdown in external electrical field is related to the occurrence of supercritical defects, such an event is viewed at as a result of diffusion-like variation of the defect radius.About:

Theory of electroporation: A review
TL;DR: This review of the essential features of theoretical models of electroporation focuses on transient aqueous pore models, which can account for key features of mechanical instability and dramatic reversible electrical behavior of certain planar membranes and of cell membranes, and some features of molecular transport.

Electrical breakdown, electropermeabilization and electrofusion
TL;DR: The techniques for electrical breakdown, electropermeabilization and electrofusion could be an important tool in this process, since the high electrical fields occurring naturally in the membrane play an important role in the selective transport of substances across the membrane as well as in natural regulatory processes.

Modeling Electroporation in a Single Cell
Wanda Krassowska,Petar D. Filev +1 more
TL;DR: This study presents a model of electroporation in a spherical cell exposed to an electric field that determines transmembrane potential, number of pores, and distribution of pore radii as functions of time and position on the cell surface.

Modeling electroporation in a single cell. I. Effects Of field strength and rest potential.
TL;DR: This study develops a model for a single cell electroporated by an external electric field and uses it to investigate the effects of shock strength and rest potential on the transmembrane potential V(m) and pore density N around the cell.
