Scientists overcome major challenge in gene therapy and drug delivery

Imagine trying to poke a hole in the yolk of a raw egg without breaking the egg white. It sounds impossible, but researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a technology that performs a similarly delicate task in living cells. They created an array of nanopillars that can breach the nucleus of a cell - the compartment that houses our DNA - without damaging the cell's outer membrane.
