Nanospears May Revolutionize Gene Therapy

Researchers say they have developed a technique that uses microscopic splinter-like structures called "nanospears" for the targeted delivery of biomolecules, such as genes to patient cells. These magnetically guided nanostructures could enable gene therapies that are safer, faster, and more cost-effective, according to the scientists.The study (“ Precision-Guided Nanospears for Targeted and High-Throughput Intracellular Gene Delivery ”) appears in ACS Nano.“An efficie
