What is another word for microinjection?
Pronunciation: [mˌa͡ɪkɹə͡ʊɪnd͡ʒˈɛkʃən] (IPA) 
Microinjection is a technique frequently used in molecular biology and genetic research to introduce foreign materials into living cells. There are many alternative synonyms for this method, including cytoplasmic injection, intracytoplasmic injection, and intracellular injection. Some scientists also refer to this technique as cell microinjection, single-cell microinjection, or simply cell injection. Certain disciplines, like embryology and developmental biology, may describe the technique of microinjection as "embryo microinjection" or "embryonic injection." Finally, some researchers may use less specific terms like "injection-assisted transfection" or "cellular injection" to refer to the same concept. Regardless of the terminology, microinjection plays an essential role in many biological and biomedical experiments.
