Optical Transfection
Abstract
Strategies for the delivery of genes into eukaryotic cells fall into three categories: transfection by biochemical methods, transfection by physical methods, and virus-mediated transduction. “Optical transfection”—a physical transfection method—exploits the ability of light to create small transient pores in the plasma membrane of mammalian cells.
