Article Title: Genetically engineered human cell–based microrobots for selective cancer cell death

doi: 10.1126/sciadv.aea9831

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Schematic illustration of the experimental setup with four groups: (i) unmodified 293T cells, (ii) 293T cells modified with GFP only, (iii) 293T cells modified with TRAIL + GFP , and (iv) cell-based microrobots—293T cells modified with TRAIL + GFP and then conjugated to magnetic Janus particles. 293T cells were seeded in the upper chamber of a transwell system; healthy hAMSCs or A498 cancer cells were seeded in the lower chamber. Cell viability was assessed after 3 days of coculture. Created in BioRender. N. O. Dogan (2026), https://biorender.com/3lke7fg . ( B ) TRAIL secretion was measured in all groups at 48 hours posttransfection. Data are presented as the means ± SD from n = 3 technical replicates. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test; n.s. indicates P ≥ 0.05, and **** P < 0.0001. ( C ) CellTiter-Glo viability assays showing a minimal effect on healthy hAMSC viability across groups, while A498 cancer cells exhibited significant death in both TRAIL + GFP and TRAIL + GFP + particles groups. Data are presented as the means ± SD from n = 10 technical replicates. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test; n.s. indicates P ≥ 0.05; * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, and **** P < 0.0001.
