Povzetek
The introduction of biomolecules such as proteins and DNA into cells is a powerful strategy
for controlling cellular functions, with broad applications from fundamental biology to
medical applications. Conventional delivery methods—such as liposomes, viral vectors,
and electroporation—are widely used but sometimes suffer from low efficiency or
cytotoxicity in certain cell types. Microinjection, which directly inserts micro- or nanoneedles
into cells, can achieve reliable delivery but remains limited in versatility due to limitations on
the kinds of molecules it can carry.
