Invasive properties of patient-derived glioblastoma cells after reversible electroporation <i>in vitro</i>
These findings highlight a potential risk of pro-invasive responses in GB cells. In tumour ablation with irreversible electroporation, this concern relates to cells in the peripheral zone that may experience only sublethal electric fields, while in electrochemotherapy, a similar risk may arise if permeabilized cells are not effectively eliminated due to insufficient local drug delivery. Nevertheless, the two tested cell lines responded differently, underscoring patient-specific heterogeneity and the need for validation in more physiologically relevant models.
