The widespread use of molecular machines in biology has long suggested that great
rewards could come from bridging the gap between synthetic molecular systems and the …

The ability to perform laboratory operations on small scales using miniaturized devices
provides numerous benefits, including reduced quantities of reagents and waste as well as …

Biohybrid cell-driven microsystems offer unparalleled possibilities for realization of soft
microrobots at the micron scale. Here, we introduce a bacteria-driven microswimmer that …

Reconstitution and simulation of cellular motility in microcompartmentalized colloidal objects
have important implications for microcapsule-based remote sensing, environmentally …

The dynamic cytoskeletal components, biomolecular motors and their associated filaments,
can be integrated in vitro with synthetic components to enable nanoscale transport systems …

In this review, we summarize the recent developments in the emerging field of bioactuators
across a multitude of length scales. First, we discuss the use and control of biomolecules as …

Molecular communication uses molecules (ie, biochemical signals) as an information
medium and allows biologically and artificially created nano-or microscale entities to …

Intracellular transport along cytoskeletal filaments is often mediated by two teams of
molecular motors that pull on the same cargo and move in opposite directions along the …

Higher-order structures that originate from the specific and reversible DNA-directed self-
assembly of microscopic building blocks hold great promise for future technologies. Here …

We aimed to create an autonomous on-chip system that performs targeted delivery of lipid
vesicles (liposomes) as nano-or microscale reactors using machinery from biological …
