1. Irreversible electroporation of pancreatic adenocarcinoma
Abstract : Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a severe diagnosis with poor prognosis. Radical surgery is the only treatment that can possibly lead to a cure, and even with surgery, the 5-year survival is only 20%–25%. The majority of patients cannot be resected due to metastases or having a tumour that is too advanced locally (LAPC) with encasement of blood-vessels. READ MORE

2. Electropermeabilization in Experimental Tumour Treatment: Dosimetry and Tissue Effects
Abstract : Short, electric high-voltage pulses can be used to transiently increase the permeability of cell membranes without significant loss of cell viability. During this period of time, extracellular and normally non-permeant, molecules are accessed the cytoplasm and the cell nucleus. READ MORE

3. Irreversible electroporation in the liver
Abstract : Introduction: Malignant tumours in the liver are divided into primary liver cancers and liver metastases. Among primary liver cancers, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for 75-85% and is globally the fourth most common cause of cancer related death. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer related death. READ MORE

4. Keeping up with retinal photoreceptors and horizontal cells : Labelling and mapping of cells in the normal and diseased embryonic chicken retina
Abstract : The childhood eye cancer retinoblastoma originates from the retina and its development is initiated while the foetus is in the uterus. Retinoblastoma has a reported incidence of 1 in 15-18 000 live births, and approximately 90% of all patients are diagnosed before the age of 5. READ MORE

5. Pulsed Electric Field Treatment of Plant Tissue
Abstract : A pulsed electric field (PEF) is a newly emerged non-thermal food processing technology which has characteristic effects on the cell membrane. PEF processing involves subjecting food to short, repeated pulses of a high electric field between an anode and a cathode. READ MORE
