Porous and/or polycrystalline silicon are used in the delivery of substances into cells. The porous and/or polycrystalline silicon can be formed into micropiercers, microneedles and biolistic bullets for penetration of the cell. The control of the pore size and porosity of the porous and/or polycrystalline silicon allows tuning of the bioactivity of the porous silicon. The porous and/or polycrystalline silicon is also resorbable and is therefore resorbed from the cells without leaving any particles or being seen as a foreign body. Methods of manufacturing the porous silicon micropiercers, microneedles, microelectrodes, biolistic bullets, and precipitation of calcium phosphate on a bioactive substrate, and their advantages over known methods of delivering materials into cells.
