This book focuses on bioelectrics, a new multidisciplinary field encompassing engineering and biology with applications to the medical, environmental, food, energy, and biotechnological fields. At present, 15 universities and institutes in Japan, the USA and the EU comprise the International Consortium of Bioelectrics, intended to advance this novel and important research field. This book will serve as an introductory resource for young scientists and also as a textbook for use by both undergraduate and graduate students – the world’s first such work solely devoted to bioelectrics.

Introduction.- Historical overview.- Cell and tissue models for bioelectrics.- Pulsed power technology.- Generators.- Switches.- Measurements.- Pulsed power-produced agents and their primary biological effects.- Pulsed electric fields (including thermal effects).- Pulsed magnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation.- Plasmas.- Shock waves.- Electropermeabilization.- Introduction to electropermeabilization.- Molecular dynamics in electropermeabilization.- Antitumor electrochemotherapy.- Electro-genetherapy.- Basic biology.- Membrane interactions.- Cytoschelton interactions.- Intracelular response.- Cell death mechanism.- Medical Applications.- Electrotransfer for gene and drug delivery.- Clinical studies.- Electromagnetic delivery of nanoparticles.- Plasma treatment.- Shock wave treatment.- Environmental and industrial applications.- Overview of environmental applications.- Nutrition extraction from plants for food processing.- Oil extraction from plants and algae for biomass.- Bacterial inactivation for food preservation.- Fermentation control.- Effects on embryology.
