Membrane Heating in Living Tissues Exposed to Nonthermal Pulsed EM Fields

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

A bio tissue model consisting of multilayer spherical cells including four nested radial domains (nucleus, nuclear membrane, cytoplasm and plasma membrane) is worked out to derive the cell heating dynamics in presence of membrane capacitance dispersion under pulsed electromagnetic exposure. Two possible cases of frequency-dependent membrana models are discussed: plasma and nuclear membranes are dispersive, only the nuclear memebrane is dispersive . In both models an high localized heating of the membranes occurs, without significant temperature rise in the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm.
