Abstract
The present invention is directed to methods of delivering macromolecules to a target cell or tissue by microwave irradiation. A target cell or tissue is exposed to one or more macromolecules to be delivered into the desired cell or tissue and irradiated with microwave radiation. The strength or power of the microwave radiation is such that the macromolecules are delivered into the target cell or tissue. Preferably, the strength of the microwave radiation does not significantly impact cell viability in a negative manner (e.g., apoptosis).
