Abstract

Synthetic‐biological hybrids of biodegradable microparticles and transfected cells are assembled, as schematically illustrated in the figure. The cells are surface‐functionalized with biotin and the particle surface is also engineered with biotin. Avidin is then used as a bridging protein to bind together the microparticles and the surface‐ functionalized cells.
