In recent years, many experts have done some researches on experiment and mechanism of intracellular electromanipulation (IEM) under nanosecond pulsed electric field (nsPEF). The experiment results have shown that nsPEF could not induce electroporation of cell membrane, but could induce intracellular effects such as apoptosis, calcium release, enhancement of gene expression, and fragmentation of DNA and chromosome. In order to account for the phenomenon, researchers believe that when the pulse width of the pulsed electric field is larger than the charging time of plasma membrane, the pulsed electric field mainly targets on the outer membrane of cell; and that the effect of the pulsed electric field on nucleus and nuclear membrane increases with the decrease of the pulse width. It is also believed that the effect of electroporation changes from the outer membrane to intracellular electromanipulation when the pulse width decreases to a value being smaller than the charging time of plasma membrane.
