A valuable cargo : Polysaccharides (β‐1,3‐glucans) act as a host compound to various nanomaterial cargoes such as single‐walled carbon nanotubes. The cargo packed in the host container is transported on the rail (F‐actin) by wheels and a molecular motor (myosin) attached to the container (see picture). This artificial system is inspired by a container transportation system based on the motion of vesicles in biological cells.
