Abstract
The present invention discloses methods to transfect cells, comprising applying a strong magnetic field in pulses so as to affect a plurality of substance-carrying magnetic microparticles, the complexes being in physical proximity to a plurality of cells such that when the magnetic field is applied, the magnetic microparticles are pulled into the nuclei and/or cytoplasm of the cells.
