Engineering devices based upon the interfacing of biological with inorganic systems have led to fascinating research results and present important implications for next‐generation technologies. The development of cell‐ and protein‐based micro/nano systems has demonstrated that several key factors must be considered when establishing fabrication rules. These include material interface properties, preserving biological viability, as well as self‐assembly as a device‐fabrication methodology, to name a few. Here, we present two proposed devices that have been developed through the application of these principles. They include muscle‐powered microfabricated devices, as well as protein‐functionalized polymeric vesicles based on protein‐coupling reactions. These systems have successfully bridged the gap between biological and conventional engineering to yield exciting prospects, as well as important lessons and questions for the development of cell‐/protein‐based hybrids. |
