The invention provides a method of enhancing the uptake by a cell of an atom, a molecule, or particle of <10 m. The method involves (a) bringing into contact a cell and a liquid medium containing the atom, molecule, or particle, (b) maintaining the cell and the liquid medium in an enclosed space, and (c) subjecting the enclosed cell and liquid medium to an incubation pressure sufficient to enhance the uptake by the cell of the atom, molecule, or particle. |
