Abstract
Cancer is indisputably one of the major threats to mankind, and hence the design of new approaches for the improvement of existing therapeutic strategies is always wanted. Herein, the design of a tumor microenvironment-responsive, DNA-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT) nanoagent with dual Fenton reaction centers for targeted cancer therapy is reported. Self-assembly of DNA amphiphile containing copper complex as the hydrophobic Fenton reaction center results in the formation of CDT-active DNAsome with Cu2+-based Fenton catalytic site as the hydrophobic core and hydrophilic ssDNA protrude on the surface. DNA-based surface addressability of the DNAsome is then used for the integration of second Fenton reaction center, which is a peroxidase-mimicking DNAzyme noncovalently loaded with Hemin and Doxorubicin, via DNA hybridization to give a CDT agent having dual Fenton reaction centers. Targeted internalization of the CDT nanoagent and selective generation of •OH inside HeLa cell are also shown. Excellent therapeutic efficiency is observed for the CDT nanoagent both in vitro and in vivo, and the enhanced efficacy is attributed to the combined and synergetic action of CDT and chemotherapy.

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
The intracellular clustering of anisotropic nanoparticles is crucial to the improvement of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) for phototherapy applications. Herein, we programmed the intracellular clustering process of spiky nanoparticles (SNPs) by encapsulating them into an anionic liposome via a frame-guided self-assembly approach. The liposome-encapsulated SNPs (lipo-SNPs) exhibited distinct and enhanced lysosome-triggered aggregation behavior while maintaining excellent monodispersity, even in acidic or protein-rich environments. We explored the enhancement of the photothermal therapy performance for SNPs as a proof of concept. The photothermal conversion efficiency of lipo-SNPs clusters significantly increased 15 times compared to that of single lipo-SNPs. Upon accumulation in lysosomes with a 2.4-fold increase in clustering, lipo-SNPs resulted in an increase in cell-killing efficiency to 45% from 12% at 24 μg/mL. These findings indicated that liposome encapsulation provides a promising approach to programing nanoparticle clustering at the target site, which facilitates advances in the development of smart nanomedicine with programmable enhancement in LSPR.

Abstract
Tissue-engineered heart valve (TEHV) is a promising alternative to current heart valve substitute. Decellularized porcine aortic heart valves (DAVs) are the most common scaffolds of TEHV. Hard to endothelialization is one of the disadvantages of DAVs. Therefore, we aimed to immobilize endothelial progenitor cell (EPC)-aptamer onto DAVs for accelerating endothelialization. In this study, three groups of scaffolds were constructed: DAVs, aptamer-immobilized DAVs (aptamer-DAVs), and glutaraldehyde crosslinked DAVs (GA-DAVs). The results of flow cytometry revealed that EPC-aptamer was specific to EPCs and was immobilized onto DAVs. Cells adhesion experiments demonstrated that EPCs adhered more tightly onto aptamer-DAVs group than other two groups of scaffolds. And cell proliferation assay indicated that EPCs seeded onto aptamer-DAVs group grew faster than DAVs group and GA-DAVs group. Moreover, dynamic capture experiment in flow conditions revealed that the number of EPCs captured by aptamer-DAVs group was more than other two groups. In conclusion, aptamer-DAVs could specifically promote adhesion and proliferation of EPCs and had ability to capture EPCs in simulated flow condition. This could promote re-endothelialization of scaffolds.

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
Nanoparticle self-assembly technology has made great progress in the past 30 years. Many kinds of self-assembly strategies of modifiable nanoparticles have been developed and used to construct nano-aggregates by designing the shape, size and type of nanoparticles and controlling the components modified on nanoparticles. These strategies are widely used in many fields, such as medical diagnosis, biological detection, drug delivery, materials synthesis and sensors. The modified components can be DNA chains, polymer chains, proteins, and even organic molecules based on different molecular conformations and chemical properties. In recent years, the self-assembly of two-component modified nanoparticles has gradually attracted more attention. Nanoparticles modified with two components of different DNA strands can self-assemble to produce a variety of nano arrangement structures, such as BCC, FCC and other cubic crystals, which can be used in crystal materials. Two-component modification of hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers can produce vesicular aggregates, which can be used for drug delivery. In this review, we summarize the latest experimental progress and theoretical simulation of self-assembly of two-component modified nanoparticles including different DNA chains, different polymer chains, DNA and polymer chains, proteins and polymer chains, and different organic molecules. Their self-assembly characteristics and application prospects were discussed. Compared with single-component modified nanoparticles, two-component nanoparticles have different tethered molecules or molecular chains, which can be multifunctional by regulating different modified components and types of nanoparticles and ultimately expand the scope of applications.

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
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
Cytokine immunotherapy represents an attractive strategy to stimulate robust immune responses for renal injury repair in ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI). However, its clinical application is hindered by its nonspecificity to kidney, short circulation half-life, and severe side effects. An ideal cytokine immunotherapy for AKI requires preferential delivery of cytokines with accurate dosage to the kidney and sustained-release of cytokines to stimulate the immune responses. Herein, we developed a DNA nanoraft cytokine by precisely arranging interleukin-33 (IL-33) nanoarray on rectangle DNA origami, through which IL-33 can be preferentially delivered to the kidney for alleviation of AKI. A nanoraft carrying precisely quantified IL-33 predominantly accumulated in the kidney for up to 48 h. Long-term sustained-release of IL-33 from nanoraft induced rapid expansion of type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC 2s) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) and achieved better treatment efficiency compared to free IL-33 treatment. Thus, our study demonstrates that a nanoraft can serve as a structurally well-defined delivery platform for cytokine immunotherapy in ischemic AKI and other renal diseases.

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
Biofunctional interfaces containing DNA-conjugated molecules have been explored for various bioengineering applications. However, there is still a lack of understanding of the interaction between DNA conjugates and surrounding biomolecules. In this study, we prepare DNA-containing recruiter molecules and incorporate them onto DNA immobilized gold nanoparticles through DNA hybridization. Liposomes composed of different phospholipids are then applied to investigate supported lipid layer formation on these recruiter-containing surfaces. We find that the morphology and the amount of lipid layers formed are determined by both the liposome concentration and the type of recruiter molecule. When liposomes are applied in excess above a critical concentration, surface chemistry determines the lipid layers formed, leading to lipid multilayers on hydrophilic DNA recruiter containing surfaces and lipid monolayers on hydrophobic DNA-lipid recruiter containing surfaces. When the liposome concentration is below the critical value, the surface molecules take on a more direct role and recruit lipids through hydrophobic interaction. The total amount of the lipid layers formed is further modulated by the overall charge and the fluidity of the liposomes applied. These results provide quantitative analysis on the interaction of DNA conjugates with lipid molecules and introduce a new approach to fine-tune lipid layer formation behavior.

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
DNA is more than a carrier of genetic information: It is a highly versatile structural motif for the assembly of nanostructures, giving rise to a wide range of functionalities. In this regard, the structure programmability is the main advantage of DNA over peptides, proteins, and small molecules. DNA amphiphiles, in which DNA is covalently bound to synthetic hydrophobic moieties, allow interactions of DNA nanostructures with artificial lipid bilayers and cell membranes. These structures have seen rapid growth with great potential for medical applications. In this Review, the current state of the art of the synthesis of DNA amphiphiles and their assembly into nanostructures are first summarized. Next, an overview on the interaction of these DNA amphiphiles with membranes is provided, detailing on the driving forces and the stability of the interaction. Moreover, the interaction with cell surfaces in respect to therapeutics, biological sensing, and cell membrane engineering is highlighted. Finally, the challenges and an outlook on this promising class of DNA hybrid materials are discussed.

Abstract
One of the most promising applications of DNA origami is its use as an excellent evolution of nanostructured intelligent systems for drug delivery, but short in vivo lifetime and immune-activation are still major challenges to overcome. On the contrary, stealth liposomes have long-circulation time and are well tolerated by the immune system. To overcome DNA origami limitations, we have designed and synthesized a compact short tube DNA origami (STDO) of approximately 30 nm in length and 10 nm in width. These STDO are highly stable ≥48 h in physiological conditions without any postsynthetic modifications. The compact size of STDO precisely fits inside a stealthy liposome of about 150 nm and could efficiently remotely load doxorubicin in liposomes (LSTDO) without a pH driven gradient. We demonstrated that this innovative drug delivery system (DDS) has an optimal tumoral release and high biocompatible profiles opening up new horizons to encapsulate many other hydrophobic drugs.

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
Preventing the aggregation of NPs and their recovery are the two major hurdles in NP based catalysis. Immobilization of NPs on a support has proven to be a promising strategy to overcome these difficulties. Herein we report the design of high aspect ratio two-dimensional (2D) crystalline DNA nanosheets formed from the amphiphilicity-driven self-assembly of DNA-tetraphenylethylene amphiphiles and also demonstrate the potential of DNA nanosheets for the immobilization of catalytically active NPs. The most remarkable feature of this approach is the high loading of NPs in a non-aggregated manner, and hence exhibiting enhanced catalytic activity. Recycling of NP loaded nanosheets for several cycles without reduction in catalytic efficiency by simple ultrafiltration is also demonstrated.

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.

Abstract
The vesicle is one of the most intriguing platforms for drug delivery, which is believed to improve drug efficacy. In the past few decades, a great deal of materials have been explored to make vesicles, including lipids, block copolymers, dendrons, erythrocyte membranes, and even DNA. Other than shape and size control, most efforts are focused on achieving certain functions, for example, an abundance of stimuli-responsive features are introduced to vesicles, which can be applied to controllable release, such as pH, redox, light, radiation, enzyme etc. Besides, crosslinking or pegylation is used to increase vesicles' stability and elongate circulation time. By incorporating affinity ligands, vesicles can further accumulate to diseased cells or tissues to achieve targeting properties. Recently, multidrug delivery is believed to show a synergy effect in cancer therapy and has become a new direction in this field. However, coloading hydrophilic-hydrophobic small molecules, oligonucleotides, and peptides in the same size- and shape-controlled vesicle through a stepwise manner with high efficiency is still challenging. Herein, a modularly designable vesicle is reported for sequential multiple loading based on frame-guided assembly, which is believed to be an outstanding platform for drug delivery in the future.

Abstract
There is an urgent demand to construct multiplexed biomolecular patterns to obtain more biological information from a single experiment. However, with only limited reports focusing on defective top-down approaches, challenges remain to develop a bottom-up strategy for multiplexed patterning. To this end, a novel strategy has been proposed to fabricate multiplexed DNA patterns via macroscopic assembly through combined precise magnetic manipulation and DNA hybridization-driven self-assembly. Therefore, a multiplexed DNA pattern composed of glass fibers loaded with multiple specific strands of DNA was constructed, and its potential application in simultaneous detection of multiplex target DNA was demonstrated. Moreover, the fabricated multiplexed DNA pattern shows an erasable behavior because the hybridized DNA can be disassembled by strand displacement.

Abstract
The nanoassembly behavior of trivalent small molecule-DNA hybrids (SMDH3s) was investigated as a function of core geometry and supramolecular flexibility through a synergistic experimental-modeling study. While complementary SMDH3s possessing a highly flexible tetrahedral trivalent core primarily assemble into nanoscale caged dimers, the nanoassemblies of SMDH3 comonomers with rigid pyramidal and trigonal cores yield fewer caged dimers and more large-oligomer networks. Specifically, the rigid pyramidal SMDH3 comonomers tend to form smaller nanosized aggregates (dimers, tetramers, and hexamers) upon assembly, attributable to the small (<109°) branch-core-branch angle of the pyramidal core. In contrast, the more-rigid trigonal planar SMDH3 comonomers have a larger (∼120°) branch-core-branch angle, which spaces their DNA arms farther apart, facilitating the formation of larger nanoassemblies (≥nonamers). The population distributions of these nanoassemblies were successfully captured by coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CGMD) simulations over a broad range of DNA concentrations. CGMD simulations can also forecast the effect of incorporating Tn spacer units between the hydridizing DNA arms and the rigid organic cores to increase the overall flexibility of the SMDH3 comonomers. Such "decoupling" of the DNA arms from the organic core was found to result in preferential formation of nanoscale dimers up to an optimal spacer length, beyond which network formation takes over due to entropic factors. This excellent agreement between the simulation and experimental results confirms the versatility of the CGMD model as a useful and reliable tool for elucidating the nanoassembly of SMDH-based building blocks.

Abstract
A pH-responsive DNAsome derived from the amphiphilicity-driven self-assembly of DNA amphiphile containing C-rich DNA sequence is reported. The acidification of DNAsome induces a structural change of C-rich DNA from random coil to an i-motif structure that triggers the disassembly of DNAsome and its subsequent morphological transformation into an open entangled network. The encapsulation of a hydrophobic guest into the membrane of DNAsome and its pH-triggered release upon acidification of DNAsome is also demonstrated.

Abstract
The combination of nanostructures with biomolecules leading to the generation of functional nanosystems holds great promise for biotechnological and biomedical applications. As a naturally occurring biomacromolecule, DNA exhibits excellent biocompatibility and programmability. Also, scalable synthesis can be readily realized through automated instruments. Such unique properties, together with Watson-Crick base-pairing interactions, make DNA a particularly promising candidate to be used as a building block material for a wide variety of nanostructures. In the past few decades, various DNA nanostructures have been developed, including one-, two- and three-dimensional nanomaterials. Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules selected by Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX), with specific recognition abilities to their targets. Therefore, integrating aptamers into DNA nanostructures results in powerful tools for biosensing and bioimaging applications. Furthermore, owing to their high loading capability, aptamer-modified DNA nanostructures have also been altered to play the role of drug nanocarriers for in vivo applications and targeted cancer therapy. In this review, we summarize recent progress in the design of aptamers and related DNA molecule-integrated DNA nanostructures as well as their applications in biosensing, bioimaging and cancer therapy. To begin with, we first introduce the SELEX technology. Subsequently, the methodologies for the preparation of aptamer-integrated DNA nanostructures are presented. Then, we highlight their applications in biosensing and bioimaging for various targets, as well as targeted cancer therapy applications. Finally, we discuss several challenges and further opportunities in this emerging field.

Abstract
DNA nanostructures have found potential applications in various fields including nanotechnology, materials science and nanomedicine, hence the design and synthesis of DNA nanostructures is extremely important. Self-assembly of DNA amphiphiles provides an efficient strategy for the crafting of soft DNA nanostructures. However, the synthesis of DNA amphiphiles is always challenging. Herein, we show a non-covalent approach based on the host-guest interaction between β-CD and adamantane for the synthesis of DNA amphiphiles, and report their amphiphilicity-driven self-assembly into DNA decorated vesicles. The DNA-directed surface addressability of the vesicles is demonstrated through their surface decoration with Au-NPs through DNA hybridization. Our results suggest that the non-covalent approach represents a simple, efficient and universal method for the synthesis of DNA amphiphiles, and provides an excellent strategy for the creation of smart DNA nanostructures.
