Abstract

Efficient transfection of therapeutic agents and timely potency testing are two key factors hindering the development of cellular therapy. Here we present a cellular-nanoporation and exosome assessment device, a quantitative platform for nanochannel-based cell electroporation and exosome-based in situ RNA expression analysis. In its application to transfection of anti-miRNAs and/or chemotherapeutics into cells, we have systematically described the differences in RNA expression in secreted exosomes and assessed cellular therapies in real time.
