Abstract
Membrane-active cytoskeletal elements, such as FtsZ, septin or actin, form filamentous polymers able to induce and stabilize curvature on cellular membranes. In order to emulate the characteristic dynamic self-assembly properties of cytoskeletal subunits in vitro, biomimetic synthetic scaffolds were here developed using DNA origami. In contrast to our earlier work with pre-curved scaffolds, we specifically assessed the potential of origami mimicking straight filaments, such as actin and microtubules, by origami presenting cholesteryl anchors for membrane binding and additional blunt end stacking interactions for controllable polymerization into linear filaments. By assessing the interaction of our DNA nanostructures with model membranes using fluorescence microscopy, we show that filaments can be formed, upon increasing MgCl2 in solution, for structures displaying blunt ends; and can subsequently depolymerize, by decreasing the concentration of MgCl2. Distinctive spike-like membrane protrusions were generated on giant unilamellar vesicles at high membrane-bound filament densities, and the presence of such deformations was reversible and shown to correlate with the MgCl2-triggered polymerization of DNA origami subunits into filamentous aggregates. In the end, our approach reveals the formation of membrane-bound filaments as a minimal requirement for membrane shaping by straight cytoskeletal-like objects.

Abstract
The broad field of structural DNA nanotechnology has diverged into various areas of applications ranging from computing, photonics, synthetic biology, and biosensing to in-vivo bioimaging and therapeutic delivery, to name but a few. Though the field began to exploit DNA to build various nanoscale architectures, it has now taken a new path to diverge from structural DNA nanotechnology to functional or applied DNA nanotechnology. More recently a third sub-branch has emerged-biologically oriented DNA nanotechnology, which seeks to explore the functionalities of combinatorial DNA devices in various biological systems. In this review, we summarize the key developments in DNA nanotechnology revealing a current trend that merges the functionality of DNA devices with the specificity of biomolecules to access a range of functions in biological systems. This review seeks to provide a perspective on the evolution and biological applications of DNA nanotechnology, where the integration of DNA structures with biomolecules can now uncover phenomena of interest to biologists and biomedical scientists. Finally, we conclude with the challenges, limitations, and perspectives of DNA nanodevices in fundamental and applied research.

Abstract
Biology demonstrates how a near infinite array of complex systems and structures at many scales can originate from the self-assembly of component parts on the nanoscale. But to fully exploit the benefits of self-assembly for nanotechnology, a crucial challenge remains: How do we rationally encode well-defined global architectures in subunits that are much smaller than their assemblies? Strain accumulation via geometric frustration is one mechanism that has been used to explain the self-assembly of global architectures in diverse and complex systems a posteriori. Here we take the next step and use strain accumulation as a rational design principle to control the length distributions of self-assembling polymers. We use the DNA origami method to design and synthesize a molecular subunit known as the PolyBrick, which perturbs its shape in response to local interactions via flexible allosteric blocking domains. These perturbations accumulate at the ends of polymers during growth, until the deformation becomes incompatible with further extension. We demonstrate that the key thermodynamic factors for controlling length distributions are the intersubunit binding free energy and the fundamental strain free energy, both which can be rationally encoded in a PolyBrick subunit. While passive polymerization yields geometrical distributions, which have the highest statistical length uncertainty for a given mean, the PolyBrick yields polymers that approach Gaussian length distributions whose variance is entirely determined by the strain free energy. We also show how strain accumulation can in principle yield length distributions that become tighter with increasing subunit affinity and approach distributions with uniform polymer lengths. Finally, coarse-grained molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations delineate and quantify the dominant forces influencing strain accumulation in a molecular system. This study constitutes a fundamental investigation of the use of strain accumulation as a rational design principle in molecular self-assembly.

Abstract
DNA origami enables the manipulation of objects at nanoscale, and demonstrates unprecedented versatility for fabricating both static and dynamic nanostructures. In this work, we introduce a new strategy for transferring modular reconfigurable DNA nanostructures from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. A 2D DNA sheet could be modularized into connected parts (e.g., two, three, and four parts in this work), which can be independently transformed between two conformations with a few DNA "trigger" strands. More interestingly, the transformation of the connected 2D modules can lead to the controlled, resettable structural conversion of a 2D sheet to a 3D architecture, due to the constraints induced by the connections between the 2D modules. This new approach can provide an efficient mean for constructing programmable, higher-order, and complex DNA objects, as well as sophisticated dynamic substrates for various applications.

Abstract
A microtubule hollow structure is one type of cytoskeletons which directs a number of important cellular functions. When recapitulating biological events in a cell-free system, artificial frames are often required to execute similar cytoskeletal functions in synthetic systems. Here, I report a prototypical microtubular assembly using a DNA origami nanostructuring method. Through structural design at the molecular level, 32HB (helices bundle)-based DNA origami objects can form micrometers long tubular structures via shape-complementary side patterns engagement and head-to-tail blunt-end stacking. Multiple parameters have been investigated to gain optimized polymerization conditions. Conformational change with an open vs closed hinge is also included, rendering conformational changes for a dynamic assembly. When implementing further improved external regulation with DNA dynamics (DNA strand displacement reactions or using other switchable non-canonical DNA secondary structures) or chemical stimuli, the DNA origami-based microtubule analogue will have great potential to assemble and disassemble on purpose and conduct significantly complicated cytoskeletal tasks in vitro.

Abstract
Although RNA and DNA are best known for their capacity to encode biological information, it has become increasingly clear over the past few decades that these biomolecules are also capable of performing other complex functions, such as molecular recognition (e.g., aptamers) and catalysis (e.g., ribozymes). Building on these foundations, researchers have begun to exploit the predictable base-pairing properties of RNA and DNA in order to utilize nucleic acids as functional materials that can undergo a molecular "switching" process, performing complex functions such as signaling or controlled payload release in response to external stimuli including light, pH, ligand-binding and other microenvironmental cues. Although this field is still in its infancy, these efforts offer exciting potential for the development of biologically based "smart materials". Herein, ongoing progress in the use of nucleic acids as an externally controllable switching material is reviewed. The diverse range of mechanisms that can trigger a stimulus response, and strategies for engineering those functionalities into nucleic acid materials are explored. Finally, recent progress is discussed in incorporating aptamer switches into more complex synthetic nucleic acid-based nanostructures and functionalized smart materials.

Abstract
Molecular machines hold keys to performing intrinsic functions in living cells so that the organisms can work properly, and unveiling the mechanism of functional molecule machines as well as elucidating the dynamic process of interaction with their surrounding environment is an attractive pharmaceutical target for human health. Due to the limitations of searching and exploring all possible motors in human bodies, designing and constructing functional nanorobots is vital for meeting the fast-rising demand of revealing life science and related diagnostics. Here, we theoretically designed a nanoparticle-DNA assembled nanorobot that can move along a solid-state membrane surface. The nanorobot is composed of a nanoparticle and four single-stranded DNAs. Our molecular dynamics simulations show that electroosmosis could be the main power driving the movement of a nanorobot. After the DNA strands were one-to-one captured by the nanopores in the membrane, by tuning the surface charge density of each nanopore, we have theoretically shown that the electroosmosis coupled with electrophoresis can be used to drive the movement of the nanorobot in desired directions along the graphene membrane surface. It is believed that the well-controlled nanorobot will lead to many exciting applications, such as cargo delivery, nanomanipulation, and so on, if it is implemented in the near future.

Abstract
The DNA origami technique is a robust method for the design of DNA nanostructures with prescribed shapes, including complex curved geometries. In addition to static structures, dynamic DNA origami has been used to construct sophisticated nanomachines that can reconfigure their shapes in response to external stimuli. Here, we report a new method to design DNA origami structures that can transform between a noncurved conformation and curved conformation. The reconfigurable structures are developed on the basis of dynamic DNA domino origami, which can transform in a cascading process initiated by trigger DNA strands. The degree of curvature could be programmed by tuning the sizes of DNA units within the origami.

Abstract
Studies of nanoscale superconducting structures have revealed various physical phenomena and led to the development of a wide range of applications. Most of these studies concentrated on one- and two-dimensional structures due to the lack of approaches for creation of fully engineered three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures. Here, we present a 'bottom-up' method to create 3D superconducting nanostructures with prescribed multiscale organization using DNA-based self-assembly methods. We assemble 3D DNA superlattices from octahedral DNA frames with incorporated nanoparticles, through connecting frames at their vertices, which result in cubic superlattices with a 48 nm unit cell. The superconductive superlattice is formed by converting a DNA superlattice first into highly-structured 3D silica scaffold, to turn it from a soft and liquid-environment dependent macromolecular construction into a solid structure, following by its coating with superconducting niobium (Nb). Through low-temperature electrical characterization we demonstrate that this process creates 3D arrays of Josephson junctions. This approach may be utilized in development of a variety of applications such as 3D Superconducting Quantum interference Devices (SQUIDs) for measurement of the magnetic field vector, highly sensitive Superconducting Quantum Interference Filters (SQIFs), and parametric amplifiers for quantum information systems.

Abstract
From a couple of centuries ago, understanding physical properties of biological material, their interference with their natural host and their potential manipulation for employment as a conductor in medical devices, has gathered substantial interest in the field of bioelectronics. With the fast-emerging technologies for fabrication of diagnostic modalities, wearable biosensors and implantable devices, which electrical components are of essential importance, a need for developing novel conductors within such devices has evolved over the past decades. As the possibility of electron transport within small biological molecules, such as DNA and proteins, as well as larger elements such as cells was established, several discoveries of the modern charge characterization technologies were evolved. Development of Electrochemical Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance among many other techniques were of vital importance, following the discoveries made in sub-micron scales of biological material. This review covers the most recent understandings of electronic properties within different scale of biological material starting from nanometer range to millimeter-sized organs. We also discuss the state-of-the-art technology that's been made taking advantage of electronic properties of biological material for addressing diseases like Parkinson's Disease and Epilepsy.

Abstract
The invention of DNA origami has expanded the geometric complexity and functionality of DNA nanostructures. Using DNA origami technology, we develop a flexible multi-joint ring motif as a novel self-assembling module. The motif can connect with each other through self-complementary sequences on its segments. The flexible joints can be fixed in a straightened position as desired, thereby allowing the motif to take various shapes. We can adjust the number of flexible joints and the number of connectable segments, thereby enabling programmable self-assembly of the motif. We successfully produced the motif and evaluated several self-assembly patterns. The proposed multi-joint ring motif can provide a novel method for creating functional molecular devices.

Abstract
Manipulating materials at the atomic scale is one of the goals of the development of chemistry and materials science, as it provides the possibility to customize material properties; however, it still remains a huge challenge. Using DNA self-assembly, materials can be controlled at the nano scale to achieve atomic- or nano-scaled fabrication. The programmability and addressability of DNA molecules can be applied to realize the self-assembly of materials from the bottom-up, which is called DNA nanotechnology. DNA nanotechnology does not focus on the biological functions of DNA molecules, but combines them into motifs, and then assembles these motifs to form ordered two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) lattices. These lattices can serve as general templates to regulate the assembly of guest materials. In this review, we introduce three typical DNA self-assembly strategies in this field and highlight the significant progress of each. We also review the application of DNA self-assembly and propose perspectives in this field.

Abstract
We used coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to characterize the global and local mechanical properties of a DNA origami triangle nanostructure. The structure presents two metastable conformations separated by a free energy barrier that is lowered upon omission of four specific DNA staples (defect). In contrast, only one stable conformation is present upon removing eight staples. The metastability is explained in terms of the intrinsic conformations of the three trapezoidal substructures. We computationally modeled the local accessibility to endonucleases, to predict the reactivity of twenty sites, and found good agreement with the experimental data. We showed that global fluctuations affect local reactivity: the removal of the DNA staples increased the computed accessibility to a restriction enzyme, at sites as distant as 40 nm, due to an increase in global fluctuation. These results raise the intriguing possibility of the rational engineering of allosterically modulated DNA origami.

Abstract
DNA origami has emerged as a highly programmable method to construct customized objects and functional devices in the 10-100 nm scale. Scaling up the size of the DNA origami would enable many potential applications, which include metamaterial construction and surface-based biophysical assays. Here we demonstrate that a six-helix bundle DNA origami nanostructure in the submicrometre scale (meta-DNA) could be used as a magnified analogue of single-stranded DNA, and that two meta-DNAs that contain complementary 'meta-base pairs' can form double helices with programmed handedness and helical pitches. By mimicking the molecular behaviours of DNA strands and their assembly strategies, we used meta-DNA building blocks to form diverse and complex structures on the micrometre scale. Using meta-DNA building blocks, we constructed a series of DNA architectures on a submicrometre-to-micrometre scale, which include meta-multi-arm junctions, three-dimensional (3D) polyhedrons, and various 2D/3D lattices. We also demonstrated a hierarchical strand-displacement reaction on meta-DNA to transfer the dynamic features of DNA into the meta-DNA. This meta-DNA self-assembly concept may transform the microscopic world of structural DNA nanotechnology.

Abstract
Toehold-mediated DNA strand displacement endows DNA nanostructures with dynamic response capability. However, the complexity of sequence design dramatically increases as the size of the DNA network increases. We attribute this problem to the mechanism of toehold-mediated strand displacement, termed exact strand displacement (ESD), in which one input strand corresponds to one specific substrate. In this work, we propose an alternative to toehold-mediated DNA strand displacement, termed fuzzy strand displacement (FSD), in which one-to-many and many-to-one relationships are established between the input strand and the substrate, to reduce the complexity. We have constructed four modules, termed converter, reporter, fuzzy detector, and fuzzy trigger, and demonstrated that a sequence pattern recognition network composed of these modules requires less complex sequence design than an equivalent network based on toehold-mediated DNA strand displacement.

Abstract
Over the past decade, DNA nanotechnology has spawned a broad variety of functional nanostructures tailored toward the enabled state at which applications are coming increasingly in view. One of the branches of these applications is in synthetic biology, where the intrinsic programmability of the DNA nanostructures may pave the way for smart task-specific molecular robotics. In brief, the synthesis of the user-defined artificial DNA nano-objects is based on employing DNA molecules with custom lengths and sequences as building materials that predictably assemble together by obeying Watson-Crick base pairing rules. The general workflow of creating DNA nanoshapes is getting more and more straightforward, and some objects can be designed automatically from the top down. The versatile DNA nano-objects can serve as synthetic tools at the interface with biology, for example, in therapeutics and diagnostics as dynamic logic-gated nanopills, light-, pH-, and thermally driven devices. Such diverse apparatuses can also serve as optical polarizers, sensors and capsules, autonomous cargo-sorting robots, rotary machines, precision measurement tools, as well as electric and magnetic-field directed robotic arms. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in robotic DNA nanostructures, mechanics, and their various implementations.

Abstract
3D DNA origami provide access to the de novo design of monodisperse and functional bio(organic) nanoparticles, and complement structural protein engineering and inorganic and organic nanoparticle synthesis approaches for the design of self-assembling colloidal systems. We show small 3D DNA origami nanoparticles, which polymerize and depolymerize reversibly to nanotubes of micrometer lengths by applying fuel/antifuel switches. 3D DNA nanocylinders are engineered as a basic building block with different numbers of overhang strands at the open sides to allow for their assembly via fuel strands that bridge both overhangs, resulting in the supracolloidal polymerization. The influence of the multivalent interaction patterns and the length of the bridging fuel strand on efficient polymerization and nanotube length distribution is investigated. The polymerized multivalent nanotubes disassemble through toehold-mediated rehybridization by adding equimolar amounts of antifuel strands. Finally, Förster resonance energy transfer yields in situ insights into the kinetics and reversibility of the nanotube polymerization and depolymerization.

Abstract
Allostery is comprehensively studied for natural macromolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids. Here, we present controllable allostery of synthetic DNA nanostructure–enzyme systems. Rational designs of the synthetic allosteric systems are based on an in-depth understanding of allosteric sites with several types of strand placements, whose varying stacking strengths determine the local conformation and ultimately lead to a gradient level of allosteric transition. When enzymes in a molecular cloning toolbox such as DNA polymerase, exonuclease and ligase are applied to treat the allosteric sites, the resulting local conformational changes propagate through the entire structure for a global allosteric transition.

Abstract
In recent years, a diverse set of mechanisms have been developed that allow DNA strands with specific sequences to sense information in their environment and to control material assembly, disassembly, and reconfiguration. These sequences could serve as the inputs and outputs for DNA computing circuits, enabling DNA circuits to act as chemical information processors to program complex behavior in chemical and material systems. This review describes processes that can be sensed and controlled within such a paradigm. Specifically, there are interfaces that can release strands of DNA in response to chemical signals, wavelengths of light, pH, or electrical signals, as well as DNA strands that can direct the self-assembly and dynamic reconfiguration of DNA nanostructures, regulate particle assemblies, control encapsulation, and manipulate materials including DNA crystals, hydrogels, and vesicles. These interfaces have the potential to enable chemical circuits to exert algorithmic control over responsive materials, which may ultimately lead to the development of materials that grow, heal, and interact dynamically with their environments.

Abstract
This work seeks to remedy two deficiencies in the current nucleic acid nanotechnology software environment: the lack of both a fast and user-friendly visualization tool and a standard for structural analyses of simulated systems. We introduce here oxView, a web browser-based visualizer that can load structures with over 1 million nucleotides, create videos from simulation trajectories, and allow users to perform basic edits to DNA and RNA designs. We additionally introduce open-source software tools for extracting common structural parameters to characterize large DNA/RNA nanostructures simulated using the coarse-grained modeling tool, oxDNA, which has grown in popularity in recent years and is frequently used to prototype new nucleic acid nanostructural designs, model biophysics of DNA/RNA processes, and rationalize experimental results. The newly introduced software tools facilitate the computational characterization of DNA/RNA designs by providing multiple analysis scripts, including mean structures and structure flexibility characterization, hydrogen bond fraying, and interduplex angles. The output of these tools can be loaded into oxView, allowing users to interact with the simulated structure in a 3D graphical environment and modify the structures to achieve the required properties. We demonstrate these newly developed tools by applying them to design and analysis of a range of DNA/RNA nanostructures.

Abstract
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has been widely used to construct homogeneous structures with increasing complexity for biological and biomedical applications due to their powerful functionalities. Especially, dynamic DNA assemblies (DDAs) have demonstrated the ability to simulate molecular motions and fluctuations in bionic systems. DDAs, including DNA robots, DNA probes, DNA nanochannels, DNA templates, etc., can perform structural transformations or predictable behaviors in response to corresponding stimuli and show potential in the fields of single molecule sensing, drug delivery, molecular assembly, etc. A wave of exploration of the principles in designing and usage of DDAs has occurred, however, knowledge on these concepts is still limited. Although some previous reviews have been reported, systematic and detailed reviews are rare. To achieve a better understanding of the mechanisms in DDAs, herein, the recent progress on the fundamental principles regarding DDAs and their applications are summarized. The relative assembly principles and computer-aided software for their designing are introduced. The advantages and disadvantages of each software are discussed. The motional mechanisms of the DDAs are classified into exogenous and endogenous stimuli-triggered responses. The special dynamic behaviors of DDAs in biomedical applications are also summarized. Moreover, the current challenges and future directions of DDAs are proposed.

Abstract
Structural DNA nanotechnology can produce a wide range of 3D nanostructures with programmable structure and size at <5 nm resolution. However, it is challenging to dry these structures without capillary force-induced damage. As a result, the applications of 3D DNA nanostructures have long been limited in aqueous environments. Ready access to free-standing 3D DNA nanostructures in the dry state could revolutionize many research areas, especially in the development of low-density, high-strength materials. Here we report a method to obtain free-standing wireframe 3D DNA tetrahedra in air on a solid substrate, such as SiO2 and mica, by absorbing uranyl acetate and lyophilization. The dried DNA tetrahedron structure, 93 ± 2 nm in height, withstands 42 ± 22 nN of loading force. The effective hardness (9.1 ± 5.1 MPa) and Young's modulus (77 ± 48 MPa) of this low-density (70.7 kg/m3) DNA-inorganic hybrid nanostructure are comparable to other reported low-density high-strength materials.

Abstract
The cell-free molecular synthesis of biochemical systems is a rapidly growing field of research. Advances in the Human Genome Project, DNA synthesis, and other technologies have allowed the in vitro construction of biochemical systems, termed cell-free biology, to emerge as an exciting domain of bioengineering. Cell-free biology ranges from the molecular to the cell-population scales, using an ever-expanding variety of experimental platforms and toolboxes. In this review, we discuss the ongoing efforts undertaken in the three major classes of cell-free biology methodologies, namely protein-based, nucleic acids–based, and cell-free transcription–translation systems, and provide our perspectives on the current challenges as well as the major goals in each of the subfields.

Abstract
DNA origami allows for the synthesis of nanoscale structures and machines with nanometre precision and high yields. Tubular DNA origami nanostructures are particularly useful because their geometry facilitates a variety of applications including nanoparticle encapsulation, the construction of artificial membrane pores and as structural scaffolds that can uniquely spatially arrange nanoparticles in circular, linear and helical arrays. Here we report a system of parametrization for the design of radially symmetric DNA origami nanotubes with adjustable diameter, length, crossover density, pleat angle and chirality. The system is implemented into a computational algorithm that provides a practical means to navigate the complex geometry of DNA origami nanotube design. We apply this in the design, synthesis and characterization of novel DNA origami nanotubes. These include structures with pleated walls where the same number of duplexes can form nanotubes with different diameters, and to vary the diameter within the same structure. We also construct nanotubes that can be reconfigured into different chiral shapes. Finally, we explore the effect of strain on the local and global geometry of DNA origami nanotubes and demonstrate how pleated walls can provide a strategy to rigidify nanotubes and to construct closely packed parallel duplexes.

Abstract
DNA nanostructures with programmable nanoscale patterns has been achieved in the past decades, and molecular information coding (MIC) on those designed nanostructures has gained increasing attention for information security. However, achieving steganography and cryptography synchronously on DNA nanostructures remains a challenge. Herein, we demonstrated MIC in a reconfigurable DNA origami domino array (DODA), which can reconfigure intrinsic patterns but keep the DODA outline the same for steganography. When a set of keys (DNA strands) are added, the cryptographic data can be translated into visible patterns within DODA. More complex cryptography with the ASCII code within a programmable 6×6 lattice is demonstrated to demosntrate the versatility of MIC in the DODA. Furthermore, an anti-counterfeiting approach based on conformational transformation-mediated toehold strand displacement reaction is designed to protect MIC from decoding and falsification.

Abstract
We describe a DNA base pair (bp) stacking driven 3D crystallization of 70-80 nm gold nanospheres (Au NSs) into a large-area, face-centered-cubic (FCC) lattice. Although great advances have been achieved over the past decade, DNA nanoparticle (NP) crystallization has relied solely on the base complementary binding. This limits the accessible crystal size particularly for the larger and heavier Au NPs (>50 nm). In this work, we argue that the use of DNA bp-stacking (so-called blunt-end stacking) instead of complementary binding can widen the scope of controlled interparticle interactions used to assemble larger Au colloids into a larger-area crystal. Through the optimization of the melting transition, relatively large Au NSs (e.g., 75 nm) with nearly ideal roundness can be crystallized into FCC crystals with the area of up to approximately 1400 μm2. A strong metallodielectric stopband is experimentally observed in the visible range, confirming the high quality of our self-assembled Au colloidal crystals.

Abstract
Recent advances in structural DNA nanotechnology, including DNA origami and DNA bricks, have enabled arbitrarily complexed nanopatterns. However, most of these DNA structures are limited with sub-100 nm dimensions because of the limits from the length of scaffold strand, as well as the sequence library. This review will focus on different strategies for scaling-up DNA self-assembly, including the hierarchical assembly of the preformed DNA building blocks both in solution and on surface, the scaffolded assembly of finite sized DNA structures, the nonhierarchical assembly of single-stranded DNA bricks, and the seed-mediated algorithmic assembly. The design criteria, the building blocks, and the key assembly conditions for each assembly strategy are described. In addition, the future challenges, as well as application potentials of large-area DNA structures, are discussed.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most prevalent potentially lethal diseases. With the increase in the number of investigations into the uses of nanotechnology, many nucleic acid (NA)-based nanostructures such as small interfering RNA, microRNA, aptamers, and immune adjuvant NA have been applied to treat cancer. Here, we discuss studies on the applications of NA in cancer treatment, recent research trends, and the limitations and prospects of specific NA-mediated gene therapy and immunotherapy for cancer treatment. The NA structures used for cancer therapy consist only of NA or hybrids comprising organic or inorganic substances integrated with functional NA. We also discuss delivery vehicles for therapeutic NA and anti-cancer agents, and recent trends in NA-based gene therapy and immunotherapy against cancer.

Abstract
DNA nanotechnology is a powerful and promising tool for the development of nanoscale devices for numerous and diverse applications. One of the greatest potential fields of application for DNA nanotechnology is in biomedicine, in particular biosensing. Thanks to the control over their size, shape, and fabrication, DNA origami represents a unique opportunity to assemble dynamic and complex devices with precise and predictable structural characteristics. Combined with the addressability and flexibility of the chemistry for DNA functionalization, DNA origami allows the precise design of sensors capable of detecting a large range of different targets, encompassing RNA, DNA, proteins, small molecules, or changes in physico-chemical parameters, that could serve as diagnostic tools. Here, we review some recent, salient developments in DNA origami-based sensors centered on optical detection methods (readout) with a special emphasis on the sensitivity, the selectivity, and response time. We also discuss challenges that still need to be addressed before this approach can be translated into robust diagnostic devices for bio-medical applications.

Abstract
We introduce divalent 3D DNA origami cuboids as truly monodisperse colloids and harness their ability for precision functionalization with defined patches and defined numbers of supramolecular binding motifs. We demonstrate that even adamantane/β-cyclodextrin host/guest inclusion complexes of moderate association strength can induce efficient supracolloidal fibrillization at high dilution of the 3D DNA Origami as a result of cooperative multivalency. We show details on the assembly of Janus and non-Janus 3D DNA origami into supracolloidal homo- and heterofibrils with respect to multivalency effects, electrostatic screening, and stoichiometry. We believe that the merger of 3D DNA origami with colloidal self-assembly and supramolecular motifs provides new synergies at the interface of these disciplines to better understand multivalency effects, to promote structural complexity, and add non-DNA assembling and switching mechanisms to DNA nanoscience.

Abstract
Achieving rapid, noninvasive actuation of DNA structures is critical to expanding the functionality of DNA nanotechnology. A promising actuation approach involves introducing multiple, short pairs of single-stranded DNA overhangs to components of the structure and triggering hybridization or dissociation of the overhangs via changes in solution ionic conditions to drive structural transitions. Here, we reveal the underlying basis of this new approach by computing via molecular simulations the free energy landscape of DNA origami hinges actuated between open and closed states. Our results reveal how the overhangs collectively introduce a sharp free-energy minimum at the closed state and a broad energy barrier between open and closed states and how changes in ionic conditions modulate these features of the landscape to drive actuation towards the open or closed state. We demonstrate the critical role played by hinge confinement in stabilizing the hybridized state of the overhangs and magnifying the energy barrier to dissociation. By analyzing how the distribution of overhangs and their length and sequence modulate the energy landscape, we obtain design rules for tuning the actuation behavior. The molecular insights obtained here should be applicable to a broad range of systems involving DNA hybridization within confined systems.

Abstract
Recently, the DNA brick strategy has provided a highly modular and scalable approach for the construction of complex structures, which can be used as nanoscale pegboards for the precise organization of molecules and nanoparticles for many applications. Despite the dramatic increase of structural complexity provided by the DNA brick method, the assembly pathways are still poorly understood. Herein, we introduce a "seed" strand to control the crucial nucleation and assembly pathway in DNA brick assembly. Through experimental studies and computer simulations, we successfully demonstrate that the regulation of the assembly pathways through seeded growth can accelerate the assembly kinetics and increase the optimal temperature by circa 4-7 °C for isothermal assembly. By improving our understanding of the assembly pathways, we provide new guidelines for the design of programmable pathways to improve the self-assembly of DNA nanostructures.

Abstract
Nucleic acids hold great promise for bottom-up construction of nanostructures via programmable self-assembly. Especially, the emerging of advanced sequence design principles and the maturation of chemical synthesis of nucleic acids together have led to the rapid development of structural DNA/RNA nanotechnology. Diverse nucleic acids-based nano objects and patterns have been constructed with near-atomic resolutions and with controllable sizes and geometries. The monodispersed distribution of objects, the up-to-submillimeter scalability of patterns, and the excellent feasibility of carrying other materials with spatial and temporal resolutions have made DNA/RNA assemblies extremely unique in molecular engineering. In this review, we summarize recent advances in nucleic acids-based (mainly DNA-based) near-atomic fabrication by focusing on state-of-the-art design techniques, toolkits for DNA/RNA nanoengineering, and related applications in a range of areas.

Abstract
Making use of the programmability and structural flexibility of the DNA molecule, a DNA-origami nanoarm capable of undergoing large deformation is constructed. This DNA-origami nanoarm comprised serially repeated tension-adjustable modules, the cumulative actuation of which resulted in a large deformation of the arm structure, which transformed from a linear shape into an arched shape. Combining atomic force microscopy and theoretical analyses based on the mechanics of materials, we demonstrate that the degree of deformation can be systematically controlled by merely replacing a set of strands that is required for the actuation of the module. Moreover, by employing a G-quadruplex-forming sequence for the actuation, we could achieve reversible ion-induced contraction and relaxation of the nanoarm. The adjustability and scalability of this design could enable the production of DNA nanodevices that exhibit large deformation in response to external stimuli.
