A smart pathogen detector engineered from intracellular hydrogelation of DNA-decorated macrophages

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial infection is a major threat to global public health, which urgently requires useful tools to rapidly analyze pathogens in the early stages of infection. Herein, we develop a smart macrophage (Mø)-based bacteria detector, which can recognize, capture, enrich and detect different bacteria and their secreted exotoxins. We transform the fragile native Møs into robust gelated cell particles (GMøs) using...
