microinjections
Microscopic fluid deliveries
Microinjections are the delivery of substances into cells or tissues using extremely fine needles, typically under a microscope.
The technique allows researchers to introduce DNA, proteins, or other materials directly into individual cells: The embryos received microinjections of the modified gene.
Common in genetic research, fertility treatments, and cellular biology.
