Abstract
Exogenous molecules were successfully delivered into localized single mammalian adherent cells with oscillating microbubbles induced by microsecond laser pulses. The shear stress due to the oscillation of the microbubble causes the poration of a nearby cell. Specific single cells can be porated by adjusting the laser position to create the microbubbles beneath the target cell. The poration of localized single cells was demonstrated with the delivery of 500-kDa FITC-Dextran dye and 16-kb plasmids.
