  • Publication number: 20230405313
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided for delivering molecules, particularly small molecules and/or macromolecules, to cells within the body, particularly to target cells which directly therapeutically benefit from the functionality of the molecules. Example molecules include DNA plasmids, RNAs (e.g. messenger RNA (mRNA), small interfering RNA (siRNA), micro RNA), oligonucleotides, antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), proteins and/or materials which invoke genetic or epigenetic changes in the cellular behavior, to name a few. In such instances, the molecules are driven into the target cells with the use of pulsed electric fields (PEFs) which deliver the molecules through the cell wall of the target cells so that the desired genes are able to carry out the desired effect within the cells. Thus, the molecules are to be delivered to the desired location within the body at a desired time and in a desired concentration relative to the delivery of the pulsed electric fields for optimal outcomes.
