Inside Back Cover: A DNA Molecular Robot that Autonomously Walks on the Cell Membrane to Drive Cell Motility (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 50/2021)

A DNA molecular robot autonomously walking on a cell membrane to drive cell motility has been developed. The DNA robot can autonomously and stepwise locomote on the membrane-floating cell-surface receptors in a stochastic manner to simultaneously trigger receptor dimerization to activate downstream signal pathways regulating desired cellular behavior, as reported by Hong-Hui Wang, Zhou Nie, and co-workers in their Research Article on page 26087.
