Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There is a great concern about the gene therapy to fetuses. We pay attention to sonoporation which is method using ultrasound and micro-bubbles to transfer the gene into target organ (cell) selectively. The purpose of our study is to build the method of gene-transfer that is more efficiently and more safety, by studying the dynamics of the cell membrane during sonoporation. We tried development of the technique to observe the dynamics of the cell membrane using super high spatio-temporal resolution confocal microscope with high sensitivity.
