No needles required.
. However, your traditional syringe only goes so far. Sometimes, it’s helpful to get an even more precise inoculation on a. This type of injection could help pave the way for new, more effective biomedical treatments like cancer and gene therapy.researchers developed a bacterial “syrigine” that’s capable of injecting proteins directly into cultured human and mouse cells.
To develop the syringe, the researchers utilized AlphaFold, the powerful AI program from Google used to predict suitable protein structures. They then identifiedwhich typically targets insect cells—and re-engineered it in order to inject proteins into human cells in petri dishes.

This suggests that it could one day be used to help deliver treatments directly into human cells. For example, proteins could be used as nanoscale carriers delivering antibodies into tumor cells.
