The ability to deliver foreign molecules into a single living cell with high transfection efficiency and high cell viability is of great interest in cell biology for applications in therapeutic development, diagnostics, and drug delivery towards personalized medicine. Various physical delivery methods have long demonstrated the ability to deliver cargo molecules directly to the cytoplasm or nucleus and the mechanisms underlying most of the approaches have been extensively investigated. However, most of these techniques are bulk approaches that are cell-specific and have low throughput delivery. In comparison to bulk measurements, single-cell measurement technologies can provide a better understanding of the interactions among molecules, organelles, cells, and the microenvironment, which can aid in the development of therapeutics and diagnostic tools. To elucidate distinct responses during cell genetic modification, methods to achieve transfection at the single-cell level are of great interest. In recent years, single-cell technologies have become increasingly robust and accessible, although limitations exist. This review article aims to cover various microfluidic-based physical methods for single-cell intracellular delivery such as electroporation, mechanoporation, microinjection, sonoporation, optoporation, magnetoporation, and thermoporation and their analysis. The mechanisms of various physical methods, their applications, limitations, and prospects are also elaborated.

<div> <div> <div> <p>Conjugation techniques are central to improving intracellular delivery of bioactive small molecules. However, tracking and assessing the overall biological outcome of these constructs remains poorly understood. We addressed this issue by having developed a focused library of heterobivalent constructs based on Rho kinase inhibitors to probe various scenarios. By comparing induction of a phenotype of interest vs. cell viability vs. cellular uptake, we demonstrate that such conjugates indeed lead to divergent cellular outcomes. </p> </div> </div> </div>

Primary care is a key setting for the delivery of parent-focused behavioral interventions. Various methods of intervention show promising efficacy, but fail to engage adequate parental participation. The objective of this study was to understand factors underlying parents’ attitudes towards the content, sources, and delivery methods of behavioral guidance in primary care.

Pharmaceutical technology has developed various newer modes of novel drug delivery aspects. Modifications in the previously existing drug delivery methods have led to various newly innovated technologies serving as a safe and effective means of improvement over the existing ones. Novasome technology is one of the new innovations of liposomes which have solved many of the problems related to liposomal drug delivery system. It offers a seven bilayer membrane which has the ability to incorporate both water soluble and insoluble drugs. It has an excellent entrapment efficiency which provides better medication. Formulation of novasomes is achieved in a high shear device. Due to its numerous advantages, novasomes have been used extensively in various fields like cosmetics, chemical, personal care, foods, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
