Method to increase the permeability of the plasma membrane of cells and a structure suitable for use in such method

The invention relates to a method to increase the permeability of the plasma membrane of cells by introducing at least one cell on or near a structure comprising particles able to absorb electromagnetic radiation. The particles, present in a concentration ranging between 0.001 vol% and 20 vol%, are embedded in the material of the structure. At least 60 % of the particles present in the structure are embedded in the material in such a way that the shortest distance L between these particles and the free area surface S of the structure ranges between 1 nm and 500 nm. The invention further relates to a structure suitable for use in a photothermal process to permeabilize cells and to the use of such structure.
