Investigation of porcupine bezoar extract (Hystrix Brachyuran) on hela cell combined with electroporation method

Electroporation (EP) is a technique whereby the cell membrane is exposed to increase the intensity of electric field pulses that can lead to a variety of biophysical and biochemical responses. It is a molecular biology technique that stimulates pores through cell membrane, to increase the permeabili...
