High-throughput nuclear delivery and rapid expression of DNA via mechanical and electrical cell-membrane disruption

Nuclear transfection of DNA into mammalian cells is challenging yet critical for many biological and medical studies. Here, by combining cell squeezing and electric-field-driven transport in a device that integrates microfluidic channels with constrictions and microelectrodes, we demonstrate nuclear...
