AI Summary
Researchers have developed nanopillars that can breach the nucleus of a cell without damaging the cell's outer membrane. This breakthrough could lead to advancements in gene therapy, drug delivery, and precision medicine.
Researchers have created an array of nanopillars that can breach the nucleus of a cell — the compartment that houses our DNA — without damaging the cell’s outer membrane. This new ‘gateway into the nucleus’ could open new possibilities in gene therapy, where genetic material needs to be delivered directly into the nucleus, as well as drug delivery and other forms of precision medicine.
