New process "electroports" gene therapy agents into living cells


One of the key processes in gene therapy involves taking cells from the patient, injecting a therapeutic genetic material into them, then reintroducing them to the patient's body and letting them go to work. Unfortunately, getting that material into the cells can be tricky, reports Gizmag.

Now, however, scientists at Ohio State University are reporting success with a process known as "nanochannel electroporation" in which therapeutic biomolecules are electrically shot into cells.
