Abstract
DNA-mediated programming is emerging as an effective technology that enables controlled dynamic assembly/disassembly of inorganic nanocrystals (NC) with precise numbers and spatial locations for biomedical imaging applications. In this review, we will begin with a brief overview of the rules of NC dynamic assembly driven by DNA ligands, and the research progress on the relationship between NC assembly modes and their biomedical imaging performance. Then, we will give examples on how the driven program is designed by different interactions through the configuration switching of DNA-NC conjugates for biomedical applications. Finally, we will conclude with the current challenges and future perspectives of this emerging field. Hopefully, this review will deepen our knowledge on the DNA-guided precise assembly of NCs, which may further inspire the future development of smart chemical imaging devices and high-performance biomedical imaging probes.

Abstract
We introduce a toehold-mediated strand displacement strategy for regulated shape-switching of nucleic acid nanoparticles (NANPs) enabling their sequential transformation from triangular to hexagonal architectures at isothermal conditions. The successful shape transitions were confirmed by electrophoretic mobility shift assays, atomic force microscopy, and dynamic light scattering. Furthermore, implementation of split fluorogenic aptamers allowed for monitoring the individual transitions in real time. Three distinct RNA aptamers─malachite green (MG), broccoli, and mango─were embedded within NANPs as reporter domains to confirm shape transitions. While MG "lights up" within the square, pentagonal, and hexagonal constructs, the broccoli is activated only upon formation of pentagon and hexagon NANPs, and mango reports only the presence of hexagons. Moreover, the designed RNA fluorogenic platform can be employed to construct a logic gate that performs an AND operation with three single-stranded RNA inputs by implementing a non-sequential polygon transformation approach. Importantly, the polygonal scaffolds displayed promising potential as drug delivery agents and biosensors. All polygons exhibited effective cellular internalization followed by specific gene silencing when decorated with fluorophores and RNAi inducers. This work offers a new perspective for the design of toehold-mediated shape-switching nanodevices to activate different light-up aptamers for the development of biosensors, logic gates, and therapeutic devices in the nucleic acid nanotechnology.

Abstract
Base editing is an emerging genome editing technology with the advantages of precise base corrections, no double-strand DNA breaks, and no need for templates, which provides an alternative treatment option for tumors with point mutations. However, effective nonviral delivery systems for base editors (BEs) are still limited. Herein, a series of poly(beta-amino esters) (PBAEs) with varying backbones, side chains, and end caps were synthesized to deliver plasmids of BEs and sgRNA. Efficient transfection and base editing were achieved in HEK-293T-sEGFP and U87-MG-sEGFP reporter cell lines by using lead PBAEs, which were superior to PEI and lipo3k. A single intratumor injection of PBAE/pDNA nanoparticles induced the robust conversion of stopped-EGFP into EGFP in mice bearing xenograft glioma tumors, indicating successful gene editing by ABEmax-NG. Overall, these results demonstrated that PBAEs can efficiently deliver BEs for tumor gene editing both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Biomedical applications of DNA are diverse but are usually associated with specific recognition of target nucleotide sequences or proteins and with gene delivery for therapeutic or biotechnological purposes. However, other aspects of DNA functionalities, like its nontoxicity, biodegradability, polyelectrolyte nature, stability, thermo-responsivity and charge transfer ability that are rather independent of its sequence, have recently become highly appreciated in material science and biomedicine. Whereas the latest achievements in structural DNA nanotechnology associated with DNA sequence recognition and Watson–Crick base pairing between complementary nucleotides are regularly reviewed, the recent uses of DNA as a raw material in biomedicine have not been summarized. This review paper describes the main biomedical applications of DNA that do not involve any synthesis or extraction of oligo- or polynucleotides with specified sequences. These sequence-independent applications currently include some types of drug delivery systems, biocompatible coatings, fire retardant and antimicrobial coatings and biosensors. The reinforcement of DNA properties by DNA complexation with nanoparticles is also described as a field of further research.

Abstract
DNA, a genetic material, has been employed in different scientific directions for various biological applications as driven by DNA nanotechnology in the past decades, including tissue regeneration, disease prevention, inflammation inhibition, bioimaging, biosensing, diagnosis, antitumor drug delivery, and therapeutics. With the rapid progress in DNA nanotechnology, multitudinous DNA nanomaterials have been designed with different shape and size based on the classic Watson-Crick base-pairing for molecular self-assembly. Some DNA materials could functionally change cell biological behaviors, such as cell migration, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, autophagy, and anti-inflammatory effects. Some single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs) or RNAs with secondary structures via self-pairing, named aptamer, possess the ability of targeting, which are selected by systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) and applied for tumor targeted diagnosis and treatment. Some DNA nanomaterials with three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures and stable structures are investigated as drug carrier systems to delivery multiple antitumor medicine or gene therapeutic agents. While the functional DNA nanostructures have promoted the development of the DNA nanotechnology with innovative designs and preparation strategies, and also proved with great potential in the biological and medical use, there is still a long way to go for the eventual application of DNA materials in real life. Here in this review, we conducted a comprehensive survey of the structural development history of various DNA nanomaterials, introduced the principles of different DNA nanomaterials, summarized their biological applications in different fields, and discussed the current challenges and further directions that could help to achieve their applications in the future.

Abstract
The biological purpose of DNA is to store, replicate, and convey genetic information in cells. Progress in molecular genetics have led to its widespread applications in gene editing, gene therapy, and forensic science. However, in addition to its role as a genetic material, DNA has also emerged as a nongenetic, generic material for diverse biomedical applications. DNA is essentially a natural biopolymer that can be precisely programed by simple chemical modifications to construct materials with desired mechanical, biological, and structural properties. This review critically deciphers the chemical tools and strategies that are currently being employed to harness the nongenetic functions of DNA. Here, the primary product of interest has been crosslinked, hydrated polymers, or hydrogels. State-of-the-art applications of macroscopic, DNA-based hydrogels in the fields of environment, electrochemistry, biologics delivery, and regenerative therapy have been extensively reviewed. Additionally, the review encompasses the status of DNA as a clinically and commercially viable material and provides insight into future possibilities.

Abstract
The designability, functionalization, and diverse secondary structures of DNA enable the construction of DNA motors with stimuli-responsiveness. Therefore, it has been widely used to fabricate functional systems or generate mechanical power under external stimuli, such as pH, light, heat, electrical, and chemical molecular signals. Furthermore, the DNA motor has also been demonstrated to promote the applications of smart devices and materials, particularly in controllable drug delivery and reversible molecular switching. In this review, we have summarized and discussed recent progress of the construction and applications of DNA motor-based functional systems, such as responsive nanodevices, modified surfaces, and hydrogels.

Abstract
DNA nanotechnology and advances in the DNA origami technique have enabled facile design and synthesis of complex and functional nanostructures. Molecular devices are, however, prone to rapid functional and structural degradation due to the high proportion of surface atoms at the nanoscale and due to complex working environments. Besides stabilizing mechanisms, approaches for the self-repair of functional molecular devices are desirable. Here we exploit the self-assembly and reconfigurability of DNA origami nanostructures to induce the self-repair of defects of photoinduced and enzymatic damage. We provide examples of repair in DNA nanostructures showing the difference between unspecific self-regeneration and damage specific self-healing mechanisms. Using DNA origami nanorulers studied by atomic force and superresolution DNA PAINT microscopy, quantitative preservation of fluorescence properties is demonstrated with direct potential for improving nanoscale calibration samples.

Abstract
Nanostructures specifically responsive to endogenous biomolecules hold great potential in accurate diagnosis and precision therapy of cancers. In the pool of nanostructures with responsiveness to unique triggers, nanomaterials derived from DNA self-assembly have drawn particular attention due to their intrinsic biocompatibility and structural programmability, enabling the selective bioimaging, and site-specific drug delivery in cancer cells and tumor tissues. In this mini review, we summarize the most recent advances in the development of endogenous stimuli-responsive DNA nanostructures featured with precise self-assembly, targeted delivery, and controlled drug release for cancer theranostics. This mini review briefly discusses the diverse dynamic DNA nanostructures aiming at bioimaging and biomedicine, including DNA self-assembling materials, DNA origami structures, DNA hydrogels, etc. We then elaborate the working principles of DNA nanostructures activated by biomarkers (e.g., miRNA, mRNA, and proteins) in tumor cells and microenvironments of tumor tissue (e.g., pH, ATP, and redox gradient). Subsequently, applications of the endogenous stimuli-responsive DNA nanostructures in biological imaging probes for detecting cancer hallmarks as well as intelligent carriers for drug release in vivo are discussed. In the end, we highlight the current challenges of DNA nanotechnology and the further development of this promising research direction.

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 nanotechnology holds substantial promise for future biomedical engineering and the development of novel therapies and diagnostic assays. The subnanometer-level addressability of DNA nanostructures allows for their precise and tailored modification with numerous chemical and biological entities, which makes them fit to serve as accurate diagnostic tools and multifunctional carriers for targeted drug delivery. The absolute control over shape, size, and function enables the fabrication of tailored and dynamic devices, such as DNA nanorobots that can execute programmed tasks and react to various external stimuli. Even though several studies have demonstrated the successful operation of various biomedical DNA nanostructures both in vitro and in vivo, major obstacles remain on the path to real-world applications of DNA-based nanomedicine. Here, we summarize the current status of the field and the main implementations of biomedical DNA nanostructures. In particular, we focus on open challenges and untackled issues and discuss possible solutions.

Abstract
The recognition that nucleic acids can be used as polymeric materials led to the blossoming of the field of DNA nanotechnology, with a broad range of applications in biotechnology, biosensors, diagnostics, and drug delivery. These applications require efficient methods to synthesize and chemically modify high molecular weight DNA. Here, we discuss terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-catalyzed enzymatic polymerization (TcEP) as an alternative to conventional enzymatic and solid-phase DNA synthesis. We describe biochemical requirements for TcEP and provide step-by-step protocols to carry out TcEP in solution and from surfaces.

Abstract
Circular single-stranded DNA (c-ssDNA) has significant applications in DNA detection, the development of nucleic acid medicine, and DNA nanotechnology because it shows highly unique features in mobility, dynamics, and topology. However, in most cases, the efficiency of c-ssDNA preparation is very low because polymeric byproducts are easily formed due to intermolecular reaction. Herein, we report a one-pot ligation method to efficiently prepare large c-ssDNA. By ligating several short fragments of linear single-stranded DNA (l-ssDNA) in one-pot by using T4 DNA ligase, longer l-ssDNAs intermediates are formed and then rapidly consumed by the cyclization. Since the intramolecular cyclization reaction is much faster than intermolecular polymerization, the formation of polymeric products is suppressed and the dominance of intramolecular cyclization is promoted. With this simple approach, large-sized single-stranded c-ssDNAs (e.g., 200-nt) were successfully synthesized in high selectivity and yield.
