title: Intracellular Delivery: Diamond-Nanoneedle-Array-Facilitated Intracellular Delivery and the Potential Influence on Cell Physiology (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 10/2016).
abstract: G. Zhu, W. Zhang, X. Chen, and co-workers show on page 1157 that diamond needle arrays can efficiently deliver biomolecules into living cells. The study paves the way to a wide application of the nanonneedle treatment by systematically investigating the influence of the treatment on metabolic signal pathways.
