Nuclear Transport by Laser-Induced Pressure Transients
2003
Purpose. Control of the transport of molecules into the nucleus represents a key regulatory mechanism for differentiation, transformation, and signal transduction. Permeabilization of the nuclear envelope by physical methods can have applications in gene therapy. Laser-induced pressure transients can produce temporary aqueous pores analogous to those produced by electroporation and that the cells can survive this procedure. In this study, we examine the role of the pressure transients in creating similar pores in the nuclear envelope.
