In next-generation therapeutics and synthetic biology, nanoreservoirs with enzyme-like activity are gaining attention for their potential to replace biological functions, introduce new cellular capabilities, or control therapeutic effects. These artificial cell nano-structures hold promise for enhancing targeted therapies, biosensor platforms, and modulating immune responses. For instance,...
Micromotors (MMs) are micro and nanoscale devices capable of converting energy into autonomous motion. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline materials that display exceptional properties such as high porosity and biocompatibility. The combination of MOFs with MMs can result in a synergetic technology benefiting both from the enhanced fluid mixing of MMs and the exceptional properties...
Chemical reactions in living systems are regulated by metabolic processes like the anabolic formation of bio-macromolecules and catabolic degradation of food into energy. These reactions often consume chemical energy and result in active self-assembled structures that exist under out-of-equilibrium (OOE) conditions, which facilitate unique functions of life. In specific, phospholipid molecules...
