Abstract
Cytokines have been identified as key contributors to the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), yet conventional treatments often prove inadequate and carry substantial side effects. Here, we show an innovative biohybrid robotic system, termed ‘algae-MΦNP-robot’, for addressing IBD by actively neutralizing colonic cytokine levels. Our approach combines moving green microalgae with macrophage membrane-coated nanoparticles (MΦNPs) to efficiently capture pro-inflammatory cytokines ‘on-the-fly’. The dynamic algae-MΦNP-robots outperform static counterparts by enhancing cytokine removal through continuous movement, better distribution, and extended retention in the colon. This system is encapsulated within an oral capsule, which shields it from gastric acidity and ensures functionality upon reaching the targeted disease site. The resulting algae-MΦNP-robot capsule effectively regulates cytokine levels, facilitating the healing of damaged epithelial barriers. It shows markedly improved prevention and treatment efficacy in a mouse model of IBD and demonstrates an excellent biosafety profile. Overall, our biohybrid algae-MΦNP-robot system offers a promising and efficient solution for IBD, addressing cytokine-related inflammation effectively.

Data statistical analysis:
The experiments conducted were all performed repeatedly and independently to acquire the data shown in figures, which were reported as error bars represent ± standard deviation relative to means. To assess the statistical significance between two groups, a two-tailed, Student’s t test was used, and for multiple comparisons, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Dunnett’s test was performed. Statistical significance is denoted as P* < 0.05, **P < 0.01, **P* < 0.001, and ****P < 0.0001. To minimize any potential bias that might occur during the study, no data were excluded; samples were allocated randomly to different experimental groups; organisms were cultured under the same environmental conditions and randomly allocated to each group; investigators were not blinded during data collection and analysis throughout the experiments.
