Several attenuated and non-pathogenic bacterial species have been demonstrated to actively target diseased sites and successfully deliver plasmid DNA, proteins and other therapeutic agents into mammalian cells. These disease-targeting bacteria can be employed for targeted delivery of therapeutic and imaging cargos in the form of a bio-hybrid system. The bio-hybrid drug delivery system constructed...
Autonomous manipulation and assembly at micro/nanoscale continues to be one of the main challenges of micro/nanorobotics. Biomotors are increasingly being considered as robust, versatile and cost-effective choices for a variety of micro/nanorobotic tasks. Here we propose utilization of motility and chemotaxis in flagellated bacteria for autonomous sorting of 6 µm and 10 µm micro-particles within a...
This work presents a stochastic model for the motion of 10 µm beads propelled by an ensemble of attached flagellated bacteria in a chemical attractant gradient. Population scale stochastic models normally adopted when studying biological systems may not be an effective approach for cases in which a small number of agents are exposed to different boundary conditions and are interacting in a complex...
