Download or read book Micro Nanorobots in Nanobiotechnology written by Fengtong Ji and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-07-18 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Micro/nanorobots have emerged as functional agents and versatile tools for investigating the complex microenvironments within biological systems. Operating at a scale comparable to cells, these micro/nanorobots offer controllable motion and customizable characteristics, whilst swarming micro/nanorobots exhibit exceptional efficiency, robustness, and adaptivity. As a result, these active particles hold significant potential for interacting with living cells, diseased tissues, and organs, offering viable approaches to uncovering natural principles of development and addressing diseases such as drug-tolerant infections and bacterial self-organization. To tackle these challenges, functionalized micro/nanorobots, through active intervention, can yield substantial effects on the development and treatment of cellular environments, bacterial biofilms, and tissue restoration. In this regard, we are organizing a special issue to delineate the current state of the art of micro/nanorobots in biological contexts and to advance therapeutics by elucidating the underlying mechanisms in living systems. In the contemporary era of advancing nanomedicine, the utilization of micro/nanorobots in clinical therapy is still in its nascent stages within the realm of modern healthcare. Biomedical and biological environments hold immense promise as platforms for these active agents, showcasing remarkable functionalities and efficacy in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo. Micro/nanorobots have the capacity to emulate the behaviors of living cells, particularly bacteria, which play a crucial role in microbial infections, thus impacting public health and medical devices. These active agents possess the potential to overcome biological barriers and enable targeted therapies for various healthcare issues, including the prevention and treatment of diseased tissues and biofilms, which will significantly enhance the minimally invasive operations and remote treatments for the next-generation human healthcare system. The objectives of this research topic are threefold: (1) to investigate the novel functionalities of micro/nanorobots in biological contexts, (2) to unravel the underlying principles of cell, tissue, and organ development, and (3) to innovate active therapeutic approaches for addressing diseased tissues and microbial biofilms

Download or read book Diatom Morphogenesis written by Vadim V. Annenkov and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIATOM MORPHOGENESIS A unique book presenting the range of silica structures formed by diatoms, theories and hypotheses of how they are made, and applications to nanotechnology by use or imitation of diatom morphogenesis. There are up to 200,000 species of diatoms, each species of these algal cells bearing an ornate, amorphous silica glass shell. The silica is structured at 7 orders of magnitude size range and is thus the most complex multiscalar solid structure known. Recent research is beginning to unravel how a single cell marshals chemical, physical, biochemical, genetic, and cytoskeletal processes to produce these single-cell marvels. The field of diatom nanotechnology is advancing as this understanding matures. Diatoms have been actively studied over the recent 10-20 years with various modern equipment, experimental and computer simulation approaches, including molecular biology, fluorescence-based methods, electron, confocal, and AFM microscopy. This has resulted in a huge amount of information but the key stages of their silica morphogenesis are still not clear. This is the time to reconsider and consolidate the work performed so far and to understand how we can go ahead. The main objective of this book is to describe the actual situation in the science of diatom morphogenesis, to specify the most important unresolved questions, and to present the corresponding hypotheses. The following areas are discussed: A tutorial chapter, with a glossary for newcomers to the field, who are often from outside of biology, let alone phycology; Diatom Morphogenesis: general issues, including symmetry and size issues; Diatom Morphogenesis: simulation, including analytical and numerical methods for description of the diatom valve shape and pore structure; Diatom Morphogenesis: physiology, biochemistry, and applications, including the relationship between taxonomy and physiology, biosilicification hypotheses, and ideas about applications of diatoms. Audience Researchers, scientists, and graduate students in the fields of phycology, general biology, marine sciences, the chemistry of silica, materials science, and ecology.
