New innovative method for delivering genes into cells

Researchers from Toyohashi Tech have developed a novel transfection method using water-in-oil droplet electroporation: a liquid droplet with exogenous DNA and cells that is suspended between electrodes in dielectric oil is exposed to a DC electric field. This technique can contribute to biomedical innovation in high-throughput screening.
The authors, Assistant Professor Hirofumi Kurita and Associate Professor Rika Numano, said, "This technique will lead to the development of cell transfection in regenerative medicine and gene therapy."
