Biological cell–electrical field interaction: stochastic approach

The present work demonstrates how a stochastic model can be implemented to obtain a realistic description of the interaction of a biological cell with an external electric field. In our model formulation, the stochasticity is adopted by introducing various levels of forcing intensities in model parameters. The presence of noise in nuclear membrane capacitance has the most significant effect on the current flow through a biological cell. A plausible explanation based on underlying physics and biological structure of the nuclear membrane is proposed to explain such results.
