Engineered nano-bio interfaces for intracellular delivery and sampling: Applications, agency and artefacts

Engineered nano-bio cellular interfaces bring together well-defined nanoscale material morphologies with organic living systems. These extraordinarily complex interfaces are set to produce radical advances in the life sciences, through fundamental research in the emerging multidisciplinary field of cellular nano-biotechnology. We examine the role of a particular class of nanostructured platform: vertically aligned nanowire (VA-NW) arrays. These...
