Tissue damage modeling in gene electrotransfer: The role of pH

Optimal gene electrotransfer (GET) requires a compromise between maximum transgene expression and minimal tissue damage. GET in skeletal muscle can be improved by pretreatment with hyaluronidase which contributes to maximize transgene uptake and expression. Nevertheless, tissue damage remains severe...

DSC intravital microscopy reveals the existence of pH fronts emerging from both electrodes and that these fronts are immediate and substantial thus giving rise to tissue necrosis.
