Abstract

H. D. Espinosa and co-workers demonstrate a method for real-time monitoring of gene expression in adherent cells. The method consists of delivering mRNA-detecting molecular beacons into target cells by nanofountain probe electroporation (NFP-E). On page 2386, the NFP-E experimental technique enables temporal studies of the same cell without disturbing cell growth, which could be particularly useful for studies of cell differentiation or for probing specific cells within a cell co-culture population.
