Date Mar. 14, 1996A method for releasing molecules into the cytosol of cells without killing the majority of the cells by allowing the molecules to be taken up in endosomes, lysosomes or other cell compartments and use light activation of photosensitizing compounds to rupture the membranes of the endosomes, lysosomes or other cell compartments, is described.
