Abstract
The finite periodic arrangement of functional nanomaterials on the two-dimensional scale enables the integration and enhancement of individual properties, making them an important research topic in the field of tuneable nanodevices. Although layer-controllable lattices such as graphene have been successfully synthesized, achieving similar control over colloidal nanoparticles remains a challenge. DNA origami technology has achieved remarkable breakthroughs in programmed nanoparticle assembly. Based on this technology, we proposed a hierarchical assembly strategy to construct a universal DNA origami platform with customized layer properties, which we called 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) DNA origami crystals. Methodologically, this strategy divides the assembly procedure into two steps: 1) array synthesis, and 2) lattice synthesis, which means that the layer properties, including layer number, interlayer distance, and surface morphology, can be flexibly customized based on the independent designs in each step. In practice, these synthesized 2.5D crystals not only pioneer the expansion of the DNA origami crystal library to a wider range of dimensions, but also highlight the technological potential for templating 2.5D colloidal nanomaterial lattices.

Abstract
RNA-based therapeutics have emerged as a promising approach for the treatment of various diseases, including cancer, genetic disorders, and infectious diseases. However, the delivery of RNA molecules into target cells has been a major challenge due to their susceptibility to degradation and inefficient cellular uptake. To overcome these hurdles, DNA-based nano technology offers an unprecedented opportunity as a potential delivery platform for RNA therapeutics. Due to its excellent characteristics such as programmability and biocompatibility, these DNA-based nanostructures, composed of DNA molecules assembled into precise and programmable structures, have garnered significant attention as ideal building materials for protecting and delivering RNA payloads to the desired cellular destinations. In this review, we highlight the current progress in the design and application of three DNA-based nanostructures: DNA origami, lipid-nanoparticle (LNP) technology related to frame guided assembly (FGA), and DNA hydrogel for the delivery of RNA molecules. Their biomedical applications are briefly discussed and the challenges and future perspectives in this field are also highlighted.

Abstract
Crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) of block copolymers (BCPs) in selective solvents provides a promising route for direct access to two-dimensional (2D) platelet micelles with excellent uniformity, although significant limitations also exist for this robust approach, such as tedious, multistep procedures, and low yield of assembled materials. Herein, we report a facile strategy for massively preparing 2D, highly symmetric hexagonal platelets with precise control over their dimensions based on BCPs with crystalline side chains. Mechanistic studies unveiled that the formation of hexagonal platelets was subjected to a hierarchical self-assembly process, involving an initial stage of formation of kinetically trapped spheres upon cooling driven by solvophobic interactions, and a second stage of fusion of such spheres to the 2D nuclei to initiate the lateral growth of hexagonal platelets via sequential particle attachments driven by thermodynamically ordered reorganization of the BCP upon aging. Moreover, the size of the developed 2D hexagonal platelets could be finely regulated by altering the copolymer concentration over a broad concentration range, enabling scale-up to a total solids concentration of at least 6% w/w. Our work reveals a new mechanism to create uniform 2D core-shell nanoparticles dictated by crystallization and particle fusion, while it also provides an alternative facile strategy for the design of soft materials with precise control of their dimensions, as well as for the scalability of the derived nanostructures.

Abstract
2D nanosheets self-assembled with amphiphilic molecules are promising tools for biomedical applications; yet, there are challenges to form and stabilize these nanosheets under complex physiological conditions. Here, the development of lipid nanosheets with high structural stability that can be reversibly converted to cell-sized vesicles by changes in pH within the physiological range robustly, are described. The system is controlled by the membrane disruptive peptide E5 and a cationic copolymer anchored on lipid membranes. It is envisioned that nanosheets formed using the dual anchoring peptide/cationic copolymer system can be employed in dynamic lipidic nanodevices, such as the vesosomes described here, drug delivery systems, and artificial cells.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) assemblies of water-soluble block copolymers have been limited by a dearth of systematic studies that relate polymer structure to pathway mechanism and supramolecular morphology. Here, we employ sequence-defined triblock DNA amphiphiles for the supramolecular polymerization of free-standing DNA nanosheets in water. Our systematic modulation of amphiphile sequence shows the alkyl chain core forming a cell membrane-like structure and the distal π-stacking chromophore block folding back to interact with the hydrophilic DNA block on the nanosheet surface. This interaction is crucial to sheet formation, marked by a chiral "signature", and sensitive to DNA sequence, where nanosheets form with a mixed sequence, but not with a homogeneous poly(thymine) sequence. This work opens the possibility of forming well-ordered, bilayer-like assemblies using a single DNA amphiphile for applications in cell sensing, nucleic acid therapeutic delivery and enzyme arrays.

Abstract
Short peptide self-assembled hydrogels as 3D bioprinting inks show excellent biocompatibility and diverse functional expansion, and have broad application prospects in cell culture and tissue engineering. However, the preparation of biological hydrogel inks with adjustable mechanical strength and controllable degradation for 3D bioprinting still faces big challenges. Herein, we develop dipeptide bio-inks that can be gelled in-situ based on Hofmeister sequence, and prepare hydrogel scaffold by using a layer-by-layer 3D printing strategy. Excitingly, after the introduction of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium (DMEM), which is necessary for cell culture, the hydrogel scaffolds show an excellent toughening effect, which matches the needs of cell culture. It's notable that in the whole process of preparation and 3D printing of hydrogel scaffolds, no cross-linking agent, ultraviolet (UV), heating or other exogenous factors are involved, ensuring high biosafety and biocompatibility. After two weeks of 3D culture, millimeter-sized cell spheres are obtained. This work provides an opportunity for the development of short peptide hydrogel bioinks without exogenous factors in 3D printing, tissue engineering, tumor simulant reconstruction and other biomedical fields.

Abstract
Since the pioneering work of immobile DNA Holliday junction by Ned Seeman in the early 1980s, the past few decades have witnessed the development of DNA nanotechnology. In particular, DNA origami has pushed the field of DNA nanotechnology to a new level. It obeys the strict Watson-Crick base pairing principle to create intricate structures with nanoscale accuracy, which greatly enriches the complexity, dimension, and functionality of DNA nanostructures. Benefiting from its high programmability and addressability, DNA origami has emerged as versatile nanomachines for transportation, sensing, and computing. This review will briefly summarize the recent progress of DNA origami, two-dimensional pattern, and three-dimensional assembly based on DNA origami, followed by introduction of its application in nanofabrication, biosensing, drug delivery, and computational storage. The prospects and challenges of assembly and application of DNA origami are also discussed.

Abstract
The creation of nanoparticles with controlled and uniform dimensions and spatially defined functionality is a key challenge. The recently developed living crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) method has emerged as a promising route to one-dimensional (1D) and 2D core-shell micellar assemblies by seeded growth of polymeric and molecular amphiphiles. However, the general limitation of the epitaxial growth process to a single core-forming chemistry is an important obstacle to the creation of complex nanoparticles with segmented cores of spatially varied composition that can be subsequently exploited in selective transformations or responses to external stimuli. Here we report the successful use of a seeded growth approach that operates for a variety of different crystallizable polylactone homopolymer/block copolymer blend combinations to access 2D platelet micelles with compositionally distinct segmented cores. To illustrate the utility of controlling internal core chemistry, we demonstrate spatially selective hydrolytic degradation of the 2D platelets-a result that may be of interest for the design of complex stimuli-responsive particles for programmed-release and cargo-delivery applications.

Abstract
By combining DNA nanotechnology and solid-phase nanopore technology, the aggregation behavior of polymer guided by a single-molecular poly(propylene) (PPO) nucleus in a 3D DNA network has been studied. At low temperature, the PPO chain is evenly dispersed in the rigid 3D DNA network; at higher temperature, the PPO chain self-collapses to a single-molecular nucleus; and upon addition of amphiphilic block copolymers below the critical micelle concentration (CMC), the chains tend to aggregate on the isolated hydrophobic nucleus through intermolecular hydrophobic interactions. The process has been characterized by a rheological test and an electrochemical test. This study not only provides a preliminary understanding of the nucleation and growth process of block copolymers but also offers a theoretical basis for the study of protein self-folding and aggregation in the future. On this basis, utilizing this nucleation and growth event, a novel smart nanopore has been developed for hydrophobicity-dependent molecular transport.

Abstract
Two-dimensional, size-tunable, water-dispersible particle micelles with spatially defined chemistries can be obtained by using "living" crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) approach. Nevertheless, a major obstacle of crystalline particles in drug delivery application is the difficulty in accessing to cargo within crystalline cores. In the present work, we design four different types of biocompatible two-dimensional platelets with a crystalline poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) core, a hydrophobic poly(4-vinylprydine) (P4VP) segment, and a water dispersible poly(N,N-dimethyl acrylamide) (PDMA) block in ethanol by seeded growth method. Transferring those uniform platelets with tailored compositions to an aqueous solution in the presence of a hydrophobic drug leads to efficient encapsulation of the cargo in the P4VP segments via hydrophobic interactions. These drug-loaded platelets exhibit pH-responsive release behavior in aqueous media due to the protonated-deprotonated process of P4VP blocks in acidic and neutral solutions. This work provides initial insight into biocompatible PCL platelets with low dispersity and precise chemistry control in stimulus-responsive drug delivery fields.

Abstract
ConspectusAmphiphiles tend to self-assemble into various structures and morphologies in aqueous environments (e.g., micelles, tubes, fibers, vesicles, and lamellae). These assemblies and their properties have made significant impact in traditional chemical industries, e.g., increasing solubility, decreasing surface tension, facilitating foaming, etc. It is well-known that the molecular structure and its environment play a critical role in the assembly process, and many theories, including critical packing factor, thermodynamic models, etc., have been proposed to explain and predict the assembly morphology. It has been recognized that the morphology of the amphiphilic assembly plays important roles in determining the functions, such as curvature-dependent biophysical (e.g., liposome fusion and fission) and biochemical (e.g., lipid metabolism and membrane protein trafficking) processes, size-related EPR (enhanced permeability and retention) effects, etc. Meanwhile, various nanomaterials have promised great potential in directing the arrangement of molecules, thus generating unique functions. Therefore, control over the amphiphilic morphology is of great interest to scientists, especially in nanoscale with the assistance of functional nanomaterials. However, how to precisely manipulate the sizes and shapes of the assemblies is challenged by the entropic nature of the hydrophobic interaction. Inspired by the "cytoskeleton-membrane protein-lipid bilayer" principle of the cell membrane, a strategy termed "frame-guided assembly (FGA)" has been proposed and developed to direct the arrangement of amphiphiles. The FGA strategy welcomes various nanomaterials with precisely controlled properties to serve as scaffolds. By introducing scattered hydrophobic molecules, which are defined as either leading hydrophobic groups (LHGs) or nucleation seeds onto a selected scaffold, a discontinuous hydrophobic trace along the scaffold can be outlined, which will further guide the amphiphiles in the system to grow and form customized two- or three-dimensional (2D/3D) membrane geometries.Topologically, the supporting frame can be classified as three types including inner-frame, outer-frame, and planar-frame. Each type of FGA assembly possesses particular advantages: (1) The inner-frame, similar to endoskeletons of many cellular structures, steadily supports the membrane from the inside and exposes the full surface area outside. (2) The outer-frame, on the other hand, molds and constrains the membrane-wrapped vesicles to regulate their size and shape. It also allows postengineering of the frame to precisely decorate and dynamically manipulate the membrane. (3) The planar-frame mediates the growth of the 2D membrane that profits from the scanning-probe microscopic characterization and benefits the investigation of membrane proteins.In this Account, we introduce the recent progress of frame-guided assembly strategy in the preparation of customized amphiphile assemblies, evaluate their achievements and limitations, and discuss prospective developments and applications. The basic principle of FGA is discussed, and the morphology controllability is summarized in the inner-, outer-, and planar-frame categories. As a versatile strategy, FGA is able to guide different types of amphiphiles by designing specific LHGs for given molecular structures. The mechanism of FGA is then discussed systematically, including the driving force of the assembly, density and distribution of the LHGs, amphiphile concentration, and the kinetic process. Furthermore, the applications of FGA have been developed for liposome engineering, membrane protein incorporation, and drug delivery, which suggest the huge potential of FGA in fabricating novel and functional complexes.

Abstract
Target delivery systems have extensively shown promising applications in cancer therapy, and many of them function smartly by responding to the cancer cell microenvironment. Here, we for the first time report Ca2+-differentiated cellular internalization of 2D/3D framework nucleic acids (FNAs), enabling the engineering of a conceptually new target delivery system using an allosteric FNA nanovehicle. The FNA vehicle is subject to a 2D-to-3D transformation on the cancer cell surface via G-quadruplexes responding to environmental K+ and thereby allows its cell entry to be more efficiently promoted by Ca2+. This design enables the FNA vehicle to target cancer cells and selectively deliver an antisense strand-containing cargo for live-cell mRNA imaging. It would open new avenues toward targeted drug delivery and find extensive applications in precise disease treatment.

Abstract
The molecular self-assembly of various structures such as micelles and vesicles has been the subject of comprehensive studies. Recently, a new approach to design these structures, the frame-guided assembly, has been developed to progress towards fabrics of predefined shape and size, following an initially provided frame of guiding elements. Here we study frame-guided assembly into a two-dimensional membrane via computer simulations, based on a single-bead coarse grained surfactant model in continuous space. In agreement with the experiment the assembly process already starts for surfactant concentrations below the critical micelle concentration. Furthermore, upon increasing temperature the formation process gets more delocalized. Additionally, the assembly process of the resulting membrane plane is modelled by a lattice gas model. It displays a similar phenomenology but additionally allows the derivation of analytical mean-field predictions. In this way a fundamental understanding of frame-guided assembly can be gained.

Abstract
Discovering new drugs and improving action mechanisms is a promising strategy to overcome chemotherapy ineffectiveness caused by cancer cell apoptosis resistance. Natural products (like cyclic lipopeptides, CLPs) are potential sources of nonapoptotic cell death inducers and can form diverse supramolecular structures, closely relating to their bioactivities. Herein, it is found for the first time that fatty chain is the key to maintain self-assembled form and antitumor activity of microbial-derived amphiphilic CLP bacillomycin Lb (B-Lb). Compared with B-Lb analogues assemblies without antitumor activity, B-Lb supramolecular self-assemblies (including nanomicelles, nanofibers, giant micrometer rods) can be generated in a multilevel and cross-scale manner and served as a methuosis-like cell death inducer triggered by cytoplasmic vacuolation through macropinocytosis in MDA-MB-231-Luc and MCF-7 cells and in vivo tumor-bearing mice. This study will promote constructing of customized CLP micro-/nanostructures with multipurposes and functions, and boost designing of new antitumor drugs as nonapoptotic cell death modulators based on structure-activity relationship.

Abstract
DNA nanotechnology has seen large developments over the last 30 years through the combination of solid phase synthesis and the discovery of DNA nanostructures. Solid phase synthesis has facilitated the availability of short DNA sequences and the expansion of the DNA toolbox to increase the chemical functionalities afforded on DNA, which in turn enabled the conception and synthesis of sophisticated and complex 2D and 3D nanostructures. In parallel, polymer science has developed several polymerization approaches to build di- and triblock copolymers bearing hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and amphiphilic properties. By bringing together these two emerging technologies, complementary properties of both materials have been explored; for example, the synthesis of amphiphilic DNA-polymer conjugates has enabled the production of several nanostructures, such as spherical and rod-like micelles. Through both the DNA and polymer parts, stimuli-responsiveness can be instilled. Nanostructures have consequently been developed with responsive structural changes to physical properties, such as pH and temperature, as well as short DNA through competitive complementary binding. These responsive changes have enabled the application of DNA-polymer conjugates in biomedical applications including drug delivery. This review discusses the progress of DNA-polymer conjugates, exploring the synthetic routes and state-of-the-art applications afforded through the combination of nucleic acids and synthetic polymers.

Abstract
The comprehensive understanding and proper use of supramolecular interactions have become critical for the development of functional materials, and so is the biomedical application of nucleic acids (NAs). Relatively rare attention has been paid to hydrophobic interaction compared with hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction of NAs. However, hydrophobic interaction shows some unique properties, such as high tunability for application interest, minimal effect on NA functionality, and sensitivity to external stimuli. Therefore, the widespread use of hydrophobic interaction has promoted the evolution of NA-based biomaterials in higher-order self-assembly, drug/gene-delivery systems, and stimuli-responsive systems. Herein, the recent progress of NA-based biomaterials whose fabrications or properties are highly determined by hydrophobic interactions is summarized. 1) The hydrophobic interaction of NA itself comes from the accumulation of base-stacking forces, by which the NAs with certain base compositions and chain lengths show properties similar to thermal-responsive polymers. 2) In conjugation with hydrophobic molecules, NA amphiphiles show interesting self-assembly structures with unique properties in many new biosensing and therapeutic strategies. 3) The working-mechanisms of some NA-based complex materials are also dependent on hydrophobic interactions. Moreover, in recent attempts, NA amphiphiles have been applied in organizing macroscopic self-assembly of DNA origami and controlling the cell-cell interactions.

Abstract
DNA nanotechnology, based on sequence-specific DNA recognition, could allow programmed self-assembly of sophisticated nanostructures with molecular precision. Extension of this technique to the preparation of broader types of nanomaterials would significantly improve nanofabrication technique to lower nanometer scale and even achieve single molecule operation. Using such exquisite DNA nanostructures as templates, chemical synthesis of polymer and inorganic nanomaterials could also be programmed with unprecedented accuracy and flexibility. This review summarizes recent advances in the synthesis and assembly of polymer and inorganic nanomaterials using DNA nanostructures as templates, and discusses the current challenges and future outlook of DNA templated nanotechnology.

Abstract
Dynamic and reconfigurable systems that can sense and react to physical and chemical signals are ubiquitous in nature and are of great interest in diverse areas of science and technology. DNA is a powerful tool for fabricating such smart materials and devices due to its programmable and responsive molecular recognition properties. For the past couple of decades, DNA-based self-assembly is actively explored to fabricate various DNA-organic and DNA-inorganic hybrid nanostructures with high-precision structural control. Building upon past development, researchers have recently begun to design and assemble dynamic nanostructures that can undergo an on-demand transformation in the structure, properties, and motion in response to various external stimuli. In this Review, recent advances in dynamic DNA nanostructures, focusing on hybrid structures fabricated from DNA-conjugated molecules, polymers, and nanoparticles, are introduced, and their potential applications and future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Amphiphilic DNA block copolymers have been utilized in preparing self-assembled amphiphilic structures in aqueous solution. These block copolymers usually contain specifically designed hydrophobic regions, and typically assemble under near-physiological conditions. Here, we report self-assembly of spherical micelles and one-dimensional nanorods under acidic conditions from cholesterol-conjugated DNA strands (Cholesterol-DNA). Further study also revealed that the nanorods were hierarchically assembled from the micelle nanostructures. The morphology of the nanorod assemblies can be tuned by altering solution condition and the design of Cholesterol-DNA. The self-assembly of Cholesterol-DNA nanostructures under acidic conditions and the discovery of the relationship between the nanorods and the micelles can provide new insights for future design of self-assemblies of amphiphilic DNA block copolymers.

Abstract
The predictable nature of DNA interactions enables the programmable assembly of highly advanced 2D and 3D DNA structures of nanoscale dimensions. The access to ever larger and more complex structures has been achieved through decades of work on developing structural design principles. Concurrently, an increased focus has emerged on the applications of DNA nanostructures. In its nature, DNA is chemically inert and nanostructures based on unmodified DNA mostly lack function. However, functionality can be obtained through chemical modification of DNA nanostructures and the opportunities are endless. In this review, we discuss methodology for chemical functionalization of DNA nanostructures and provide examples of how this is being used to create functional nanodevices and make DNA nanostructures more applicable. We aim to encourage researchers to adopt chemical modifications as part of their work in DNA nanotechnology and inspire chemists to address current challenges and opportunities within the field.

Abstract
Sophisticated and dynamic membrane-anchored DNA nanostructures were developed to mimic a variety of membrane proteins, which play crucial roles in cellular functions. DNA biomimetic constructions bound on membranes are capable of modulating the morphologies, physical properties, and functions of lipid membranes, via mobility on membranes and/or inherent architectural features. This inspired young field of DNA-lipid-based nanobiomimetic systems is on the foundation of DNA nanotechnology. In this review, we highlight key successes in the development of structural DNA nanotechnology and demonstrate some typical static and dynamic complex DNA nanostructures first. Then, we discuss the biophysical properties of lipid membranes. Primary approaches are shown to attach hydrophilic DNA to hydrophobic lipid membranes. With appropriate designs, membrane-floating DNA nanostructures assemble and disassemble on membranes, modulated by external stimuluses. The aggregation of DNA nanostructures could influence the physical properties of lipid membranes. We also summarize artificial nanochannels made of DNA, analogous to transmembrane proteins. Transformations of DNA nanopores might be achieved under certain conditions and realize the transport of small molecules across membranes. Next, we focus on membrane-shaping functions of membrane-anchored DNA nanostructures. Curvature of the membrane is closely related to the rich diversity of cellular functions. Mimicking membrane-sculpting proteins, such as BAR family domains and SNARE proteins etc., DNA biomimetic nanostructures induce the transformations of lipid membranes and modulate membrane adhesion and membrane fusion processes. Although recent studies in DNA nanostructure-lipid membrane biomimetic nanosystems have made great progress, this field is still facing many challenges. In the future, the designs of more elaborated DNA architectures will be explored. Sophisticated dynamic DNA nanostructures inspired by natural membrane machines will be driven by the synergistic effect of multiple interactions, including hydrophobic force, electrostatic force, and ligand-receptor interactions by chemical modifications on bases, to expand their applications in vivo from model membrane to cell membrane to karyotheca.

Abstract
Due to the addressability and programmability, DNA has been applied not merely in constructing static elegant nanostructures such as two dimensional and three dimensional DNA nanostructures but also in designing dynamic nanodevices. Moreover, DNA could combine with hydrophobic organic molecules to be a new amphiphilic building block and then self-assemble into nanomaterials. Of particular note, a recent state-of-the-art research has turned our attention to the amphiphilic DNA organic hybrids including small molecule modified DNA (lipid-DNA, fluorescent molecule-DNA, etc.), DNA block copolymers, and DNA-dendron hybrids. This review focuses mainly on the development of their self-assembly behavior and their potential application in nanomaterial and biomedicine. The potential challenges regarding of the amphiphilic DNA organic hybrids are also briefly discussed, aiming to advance their practical applications in nanoscience and biomedicine.
