Microchip enables electronic gene injection: tiny electrodes could bring gene therapy into the brain

Article Abstract:

An array of electrodes could be used to inject genetic material into individual neurons in a novel technique that could simplify the search for brain-disorder treatments. In the technique, tiny electrodes are used instead of a modified virus to blast holes into the neurons by a pulse of voltage then slips genetic material into cells before the neuron closes.
