Nanoblade Enables Mitochondrial DNA Transfer

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Laser-powered nanoblade technology typically used to transfer materials between cells has now been used to slice through a cell’s membrane to enable the insertion of mitochondria. Other bioengineering applications of the nanoblade, which can deliver cargo as small as a few microns in size, are also being explored. University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) bioengineers Mike Teitell and Pei-Yu “Eric” Chiou conceived the nanoblade several years ago to transfer a nucleus from one cell to another. However, they soon delved into the intersection of stem cell biology and...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
