contents In this paper we analyze a model for electroporation, a biological process in which a cell membrane exposed to an external voltage becomes permeable due to the formation and growth of nanoscale membrane pores. We prove a local stability result for asymptotic self-similar solutions with a power-law tail. Our method relies on the analysis of an equation for the first moment as well as comparison of solutions of the full problem to solutions of a corresponding transport problem. In particular this shows that the transport term drives the long-time behaviour.
