Laser Nanosurgery, Manipulation, and Transportation of Cells and Tissues

Abstract

Noninvasive manipulation and processing of cells and tissues is important for biological and medical applications. Lasers can be used to noninvasively image, manipulate, and process intracellular objects, cells, and tissues. In this chapter, laser nanosurgery including dissection, removal, disruption, and transfection are reviewed. The manipulation and transportation of cells and tissues using lasers are described.
