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...
