Summary: Researchers have discovered a carbon nanotube-tipped pipettes that could become key to cell biology in-situ DNA sequencing and organelle-targeted drug delivery. This invention enables DNA to be examined inside a living cel without removing the cell from the living tissue.

Questions:Cell Organelles
What is the major function of this cell's organelle?
Which cell types have this organelle? It is in different regions inside the cell
List three things you learned from this article in your own words.
1. Pipettes have the ability to transfer liquids
2. Enables DNA to be examined inside a living cell
3.Can enhance cell treatment
What impact would the absence of this organelle have on the cell? A person can now examine DNA inside a cell
