The values used for the parameters in the simulations

Parameters Values
Cytoplasm conductivity 0.2↔1.2 S/m26,27
Cytoplasm permittivity 20ϵ080ϵ0 2628
Membrane conductivity 10 nS/m↔1 μS/m26,27
Membrane permittivity 2ϵ020ϵ0 26, 27, 29
Medium conductivity 1.5 S/m
Medium permittivity 78.5ϵ0
Outer radius 2.0 μm↔8.0 μm
Inner radius 1.99 μm↔7.99 μm30

The medium properties are held constant as they experimentally controlled. The inner radius of the cell is constant relative to the outer radius of the cell, as we assume a phospholipid bilayer thickness of 10 nm.
