Drug Delivery Via Squeezed Cells

Jan. 15, 2015 - AIChE member Armon Sharei, with help from the MIT labs of AIChE members Klavs Jensen and Robert Langer, researched a new, more effective way to deliver drugs or other genetic material into cells. Using a platform called CellSqueeze, molecules can be inserted into pores that form on cells when cells are forced through tiny channels and get deformed temporarily.
