In article number 1905209, Yuchao Li, Yao Zhang, and co‐workers report a bio‐conveyor belt that is assembled from biological cells and applied for the bidirectional transport of nanoparticles and cells. The bio‐conveyor belt can also be assembled with mammal cells and then devoted to the transport of cells in vivo. This work is envisioned to provide a noninvasive and biocompatible tool for bioassays, drug delivery, and biological nanoarchitectonics.
