Drug Delivery via Biohybrid Microswimmers a Flagellum Lash Closer

Reading time: 2-3 minutes

Lab.Equipment has found a new article from the Bio Tech industry for you. This one is published by Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News (GEN):

A biohybrid microswimmer—a genetically engineered bacterium studded with nanoerythrosomes—can be loaded with molecular cargo, injected into the body, and sent on a delivery mission. For example, the microswimmer could propel itself through viscous environments and tissue cells to dispense drugs at a tumor site.

To get where it needs to go, the microswimmer could home in on a signal of some kind. A chemical signal could allow microswimmer dispatchers to take advantage, however passively, of a bacterium’s natural sensing capabilities. Alternatively, magnetic or sound signals could allow for a more active, hands-on approach. That is, microswimmer movements could be subjected to... Want to read more? Visit the GEN​ Blog.
