  • Abstract
    The thermal response of an isolated cell under pulsed electric field exposure is studied, including a frequency-dependent membrane capacitance model. The possibility of a fast localized membrane heating up to physiologically significant levels is suggested, without sensible increase in the cytoplasmic temperature.
