This article describes a state-of-the art review in nano-biomanipulation technologies. Nanomanipulation of biological objects enables an in-depth study of single molecules such as DNA and RNA, and of biophysical events at the molecular level like molecular motors. Controlled nanomanipulation is challenging but essential for precisely engineering biomolecules or cells and for manufacturing functional nano-biosystems. In this paper, we summarize several contact, non-contact and hybrid methods available for nanomanipulation of biological objects. Advantages currently available methods and their limitations are also compared. Finally, we discuss possible applications of nano-biomanipulation technologies to life science and molecular medicine including cell biology, genetic engineering, biophysics, and biochemistry.

본 연구는 Top-down 어류조작 실험에 의한 조류제거 효과를 평가하는 것으로써, 실험대상 어종으로 국내 농업용 저수지에 우점하는 8종의 어류를 선정하였다. 대조군 수조 및 어류처리군 수조($3{\sim}6$개체)의 엽록소-${\alpha}$ (CHL-${\alpha}$) 초기 농도는 $100{\sim}120{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$로 고정하였으며 용존산소 $5.3{\sim}8.2\;mg\;L^{-1}$, 수소 이온농도는 pH $7.4{\sim}8.1$를 유지시켰다. 실험기간 동안 어류 처리군 수조의 용존산소량과 수소이온농도가 대조군에 비해 낮게 측정된 반면 전기전도도는 점진적으로 증가하는 수치를 보였다. 한편 대조군과 어류처리군의 CHL-${\alpha}$는 각각 13%, 6%로 증가하여 여전히 조류의 생장이 이루어지고 있음을 보였으나, 어류처리 군에서 CHL-${\alpha}$ 증가율은 대조군에서 보다 낮게 나타났다. 대조군과 어류처리군의 남조류는 각각 32%, 20% 감소를 보였으며, 남조류 생장률은 대조군보다 어류처리군에서 크게 나타났다. 이는 어류 배설물에 의한 영양염류의 증가로 인한 것으로 사료되었다. 따라서 본 연구결과 어류조작에 의한 조류제거 효과는 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다.

In biological cell manipulation, manual thrust or penetration of an injection pipette into an embryo cell is currently performed by a skilled operator, relying on visual feedback information only. Accurately measuring cellular forces is a requirement for minimally invasive cell injections. Moreover, the cellular farce sensing is essential in investigating the biophysical properties for cell injury and membrane modeling studies. This paper presents cellular force measurements for the force feedback-based biomanipulation. Cellular force measurement system using piezoelectric polymer sensor is implemented to measure the penetration force of a zebrafish egg cell. First, measurement system setup and calibration are described. Second, the force feedback-based biomanipulation is experimentally carried out. Experimental results show that it successfully supplies real-time cellular force feedback to the operator at several tens of uN and thus plays a main role in improving the reliability of biological cell injection tasks.

수십년 전부터 민물의 부영양화는 수질 관리에 문제를 제기해왔다. 전세계적으로 생물학적 조절론이 아닌 영양염류 저감론에 의한 부영양화 해결 방안이 대세를 이루고 있다. 생물학적 조절법은 호소 생태계에서 최상위 먹이망에 위치한 물고기 생태와 생체량의 중요성에 착안한 수질 향상 이론으로 부영양화 해결을 위한 강력한 도구로 받아들여지고 있다. 그러나 실제적으로 수질 향상을 위한 긍정적 효과를 얻으려면 해당 각 수역 전체의 먹이망에 관한 정확한 이해가 필요하다. 생물학적 조절법으로 얻은 수질 향상 효과를 장기간에 걸쳐서 누리려면 어떻게 해야 최적인가가 현재 제기되는 논의의 중심이다.

In biological cell manipulation, manual thrust or penetration of an injection pipette into an egg is currently performed by a skilled operator, relying only on visual feedback information. Massive load of various micro injection of either genes, fluid or cells in the postgenomic era calls a more reliable and automatic micro injection system that can test hundreds of genes or cell types at a single experiment. We initiated to study cellular force sensing in zebrafish eggs as the first step for the development of a more controllable micro injection system by any inexperienced operator. Zebrafish eggs at different developmental stages were collected and an integrated biomanipulation system was employed to measure cellular force during penetrating the egg envelope, the chorion. First of all, the biomanipulation system integrated with cellular force sensing instrument is implemented to measure the penetration force of cell membranes and characterize mechanical properties of zebrafish embryo cells. Furthermore, implementation of cellular force sensing system and calibration are presented. Finally, the cellular force sensing of penetrating cell membranes at each developmental stages was experimentally performed. The results demonstrated that the biomanipulation system with force sensing capability can measure cellular force at real-time while the injection operation is undergoing. The magnitude of the measured force was in the range of several hundreds of uN. The precise real-time measurement should provide the first step forwards for the development of an automatic and reliable injection system of various materials into biological cells.

Manipulation of the nano/micro scale object has been a key technology in biology as the sizes of DNA, chromosome, nucleus, cell and embryo are within such order. For instance, for embryo cell manipulation, the cell injection is performed manually. The operator often spends over a year to carry out a cell manipulation project. Since the typical success rate of such operation is extremely low, automation of such biological cell manipulation has been asked. As the operator spends most of his time in finding the position of cell in the Petri dish and in injecting bio-material to the cell from the best orientation. In this paper, we propose a new strategy and a vision system, by which one can find, recognize and track nucleus, polar body, and zona pellucida of the embryo cell for automatic biomanipulation. The deformable template matching algorithm has been used in recognizing the nucleus and polar body of each cell. Result suggests that it outperforms the conventional methods.
