Abstract
Here, we present i-motif-functionalized glass nanopipettes that enable pH-triggered DNA release into single living cells. Acid-induced folding of the i-motif drives complementary strand dissociation through the ∼80 nm tip with minimal invasiveness. This pH-gated nanopipette enables reversible, on-demand single cell DNA delivery via rectification changes, establishing a potential platform for intracellular manipulation.
