Abstract
Biodegradable polymer droplet containing magnetosome demonstrates active propulsion by magnetic field. Magnetosome is extracted from magnetotactic bacteria, AMB-1. Mixture of magnetosome and sodium alginate composes into droplet using the microfluidic device applied Plateau-Rayleigh instability principle. The magnetosome-contained droplet selects its route at the bifurcate microchannels by magnetic field. This shows tissue targeting potential of the proposed drug delivery system.Entities:
