Freely Suspended Cellular "Backpacks" Lead to Cell Aggregate Self-Assembly

Cellular "backpacks" are a new type of anisotropic, nanoscale thickness microparticle that may be attached to the surface of living cells creating a "bio-hybrid" material. Previous work has shown that these backpacks do not impair cell viability or native functions such as migrat...
