Abstract
A device or support, system and method are provided for precisely targeted and/or highly controlled interaction with a targeted cell or tissue in a body, with the support providing an ergonomic connecting interface for selectively connecting the support to a cell or tissue with at least minimal adverse affect to such cell or tissue, the system providing a remote facility that may be operatively associated with the support, and the method providing steps for employing the support and/or system so as to, inter alia, improve treatment, diagnostic and/or monitoring techniques and increase sensitivity and specificity with respect to interacting with, for example, diseased or abnormal cells or tissue without adversely effecting surrounding healthy cells or tissue, and/or the body in general.
