C:/NRPonbl/DCCSXD/4 18767 I DOC-2/03/2012 Methods of increasing porosity of cells by exposing the cells to microwave radiation are provided. It is desirable to increase the porosity of cells for a variety of purposes, such as to introduce an agent or agents into a cell or cells, to harvest a product or products produced within a cell or cells, to assist in the preservation of cells and to achieve other physiological effects such as to alter the tone of a vessel, to treat or prevent undesirable muscle contraction, to modulate neural cell stimulation or perception by slowing or preventing neural action potentials and thereby reduce nervous stimulation to an organ or tissue or to prevent or reduce pain, and the like.
