Transforming Molecular Robots Learned from Living Cells
摘要
Molecular robotics, and chemical AI or molecular cybernetics, are tried to construct by diversifying and organizing artificial cell models, especially those that cause deformation or movement. Living cells are “natural molecular robots” that have developed on earth in a long evolutionary process. Learning deformation and movement mechanisms from them and using materials involved in their motility are a reasonable and powerful approach. Here, we introduce the research that uses the liposome that incorporates cytoskeletons and molecular motors that are responsible for morphogenesis and movement of cells as representative demonstrations of constructing the motile artificial cell models.
