Nanosecond electroporation by SUTD and A*STAR researchers allows for the nondestructive delivery of cancer-related molecules into cells, maintaining high cell viability. This technique applies electrical pulses to create resealable pores in cell membranes, extending pore openness to 720 minutes, significantly longer than current methods. It's key for applications in cancer drug delivery, enhancing the efficiency of treatment. The increased time window for drug delivery offers new possibilities in medical treatment and research. The technology represents a significant advance in the field of cellular manipulation and drug delivery.
