Abstract

Methods for improving the efficiency of electroporation protocols as well as methods to enhance the permeabilized state, in order to improve the intracellular delivery of therapeutic substances, involve the use of at least one agent which is capable of prolonging the permeability of the cell membranes in the tissue exposed to an electroporation-inducing electrical field.
