Abstract:The construction of cell mimics replicating the surface landscape and biological functions of the cell membrane offers promising prospects for biomedical research and applications. Inspired by the inherent recognition capability of immune cells toward pathogens, we have fabricated activated macrophage membrane-coated magnetic silicon nanoparticles (aM-MSNPs) in this work as an isolation and recognition tool for enhanced bacterial analysis. Specifically, the natural protein receptors on the activated macrophage… Show more
