Abstract
Stimulus-responsive delivery systems allow controlled, highly regulated, and efficient delivery of various cargos while minimizing side effects. Owing to the unique properties of nucleic acids, including the ability to adopt complex structures by base pairing, their easy synthesis, high specificity, shape memory, and configurability, they have been employed in autonomous molecular motors, logic circuits, reconfigurable nanoplatforms, and catalytic amplifiers. Moreover, the development of nucleic acid (NA)-responsive intelligent delivery vehicles is a rapidly growing field. These vehicles have attracted much attention in recent years due to their programmable, controllable, and reversible properties. In this work, we review several types of NA-responsive controlled delivery vehicles based on locks and keys, including DNA/RNA-responsive, aptamer-responsive, and CRISPR-responsive, and summarize their advantages and limitations.

Abstract
Chirality, one of the most fundamental properties of natural molecules, plays a significant role in biochemical reactions. Nanomaterials with chiral characteristics have superior properties, such as catalytic properties, optoelectronic properties, and photothermal properties, which have significant potential for specific applications in nanomedicine. Biomolecular modifications such as nucleic acids, peptides, proteins, and polysaccharides are sources of chirality for nanomaterials with great potential for application in addition to intrinsic chirality, artificial macromolecules, and metals. Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, as opposed to other dimensions, due to proper surface area, extensive modification sites, drug loading potential, and simplicity of preparation, are prepared and utilized in diagnostic applications, drug delivery research, and tumor therapy. Current advanced studies on 2D chiral nanomaterials for biomedicine are focused on novel chiral development, structural control, and materials sustainability applications. However, despite the advances in biomedical research, chiral 2D nanomaterials still confront challenges such as the difficulty of synthesis, quality control, batch preparation, chiral stability, and chiral recognition and selectivity. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the origins, synthesis, applications, and challenges of 2D chiral nanomaterials with biomolecules as cargo and chiral modifications and highlight their potential roles in biomedicine.

Abstract
Wounds are one of the most common health issues, and the cost of wound care and healing has continued to increase over the past decade. In recent years, there has been growing interest in developing innovative strategies to enhance the efficacy of wound healing. Tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) have emerged as a promising tool for wound healing applications due to their unique structural and functional properties. Therefore, it is of great significance to summarize the applications of tFNAs for wound healing. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the potential of tFNAs as a novel therapeutic approach for wound healing. In this review, we discuss the possible mechanisms of tFNAs in wound healing and highlight the role of tFNAs in modulating key processes involved in wound healing, such as cell proliferation and migration, angiogenesis, and tissue regeneration. The targeted delivery and controlled release capabilities of tFNAs offer advantages in terms of localized and sustained delivery of therapeutic agents to the wound site. In addition, the latest research progress on tFNAs in wound healing is systematically introduced. We also discuss the biocompatibility and biosafety of tFNAs, along with their potential applications and future directions for research. Finally, the current challenges and prospects of tFNAs are briefly discussed to promote wider applications.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:5300.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most common lethal gynecologic cause of death in women worldwide, with a high mortality rate and increasing incidence. Despite advancements in the treatment, most OC patients still die from their disease due to late-stage diagnosis, the lack of effective diagnostic methods, and relapses. Aptamers, synthetic, short single-stranded oligonucleotides, have emerged as promising anticancer therapeutics. Their ability to selectively bind to target molecules, including cancer-related proteins and receptors, has revolutionized drug discovery and biomarker identification. Aptamers offer unique insights into the molecular pathways involved in cancer development and progression. Moreover, they show immense potential as drug delivery systems, enabling targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to cancer cells while minimizing off-target effects and reducing systemic toxicity. In the context of OC, the integration of aptamers with non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) presents an opportunity for precise and efficient gene targeting. Additionally, the conjugation of aptamers with nanoparticles allows for accurate and targeted delivery of ncRNAs to specific cells, tissues, or organs. In this review, we will summarize the potential use and challenges associated with the use of aptamers alone or aptamer-ncRNA conjugates, nanoparticles, and multivalent aptamer-based therapeutics for the treatment of OC.

Abstract
The unfathomable role that fluorescence detection plays in the life sciences has prompted the development of countless fluorescent labels, sensors, and analytical techniques that can be used to detect and image proteins or investigate their properties. Motivated by the demand for simple-to-produce, modular, and versatile fluorescent tools to study proteins, many research groups have harnessed the advantages of oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) for scaffolding such probes. Tight control over the valency and position of protein binders and fluorescent dyes decorating the polynucleotide chain and the ability to predict molecular architectures through self-assembly, inherent solubility, and stability are, in a nutshell, the important properties of DNA probes. This paper reviews the progress in developing DNA-based, fluorescent sensors or labels that navigate toward their protein targets through small-molecule (SM) or peptide ligands. By describing the design, operating principles, and applications of such systems, we aim to highlight the versatility and modularity of this approach and the ability to use ODN-SM or ODN-peptide conjugates for various applications such as protein modification, labeling, and imaging, as well as for biomarker detection, protein surface characterization, and the investigation of multivalency.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a promising means for development of sustainable agriculture while the study of nanoparticle-mediated plant disease resistance is still in its primary stage. Nanotechnology has shown great promise in regulating: the content of secondary metabolites, inducing disease resistance genes, delivering hormones, delivering biomolecules (such as: nucleotides, proteins, and activators), and obtaining transgenic plants to resist plant diseases. In this review, we conclude its versatility and applicability in disease management strategies and diagnostics and as molecular tools. With the advent of new biotechnologies (e.g. de novo regeneration, CRISPR/Cas9, and GRF4-GIF1 fusion protein), we discuss the potential of nanoparticles as an optimal platform to deliver biomolecules to plants for genetic engineering. In order to ensure the safe use and social acceptance of plant nanoparticle technology, its adverse effects are discussed, including the risk of transferring nanoparticles through the food chain.

Abstract
In this study, we developed a novel, rapid, simple, and sensitive nano sensor based on the controlled release of 4-Aminothiophenol (4-ATP) signal molecules from aptamers (Apts) modified aminated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs-NH2) for the quantitative detection of acetamiprid (ACE). Firstly, we synthesized the positively charged MSNs-NH2 by one-pot method, then loaded 4-ATP signal molecules into the pore, and finally electrostatically adsorbed the Apts onto the MSNs-NH2, which acts as a gate to control the release of signal molecules. When ACE is added to the system, ACE preferentially and specifically binds to Apts, so the gate opens and 4-ATP signal molecules are released from the pore. Meanwhile, the silver-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Ag@SiO2) were prepared by one-pot method as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate to amplify the signal. The intensity of 4-ATP signal molecules at 1433 cm-1 position was observed to has a linear relationship with the concentration of ACE by SERS detection. Under the optimized detection conditions, a linear correlation was observed in the range of 5-60 ng/mL (R2 = 0.99749), and the limit of detection (LOD) was 2.66 ng/mL. The method has high sensitivity, good selectivity and reproducibility, and can be used for actual sample analysis with the recovery rate of 96.24-103.6 %. This study provides a reference for the rapid and convenient detection of ACE in agricultural products.

Abstract
The nanoscale organization of functional (bio)molecules on solid substrates with nanoscale spatial resolution and single-molecule control-in both position and orientation-is of great interest for the development of next-generation (bio)molecular devices and assays. Herein, we report the fabrication of nanoarrays of individual proteins (and dyes) via the selective organization of DNA origami on nanopatterned surfaces and with controlled protein orientation. Nanoapertures in metal-coated glass substrates were patterned using focused ion beam lithography; 88% of the nanoapertures allowed immobilization of functionalized DNA origami structures. Photobleaching experiments of dye-functionalized DNA nanostructures indicated that 85% of the nanoapertures contain a single origami unit, with only 3% exhibiting double occupancy. Using a reprogrammed genetic code to engineer into a protein new chemistry to allow residue-specific linkage to an addressable ssDNA unit, we assembled orientation-controlled proteins functionalized to DNA origami structures; these were then organized in the arrays and exhibited single molecule traces. This strategy is of general applicability for the investigation of biomolecular events with single-molecule resolution in defined nanoarrays configurations and with orientational control of the (bio)molecule of interest.

Abstract
Structured aptamers are nucleic acid systems produced using DNA nano self-assembly technology and can be constructed in a programmable manner. These aptamers are widely used in biomedical fields because of their low biological toxicity, weak immunogenicity, good cytocompatibility and
biocompatibility, stability, and facile modification ability. Additionally, structured aptamers achieve nano precision in spatial configuration and can be directly internalized into targets without the assistance of transfection reagents. They exhibit higher stability, rigidity, and binding
efficiency than aptamers alone. Therefore, structured aptamers have been universally applied in the tumor-targeting field and have emerged as a current research hotspot. Here, we introduce the assembly principle, assembly methods, and characterization methods of structured aptamers. Moreover,
the application status of structured aptamers for tumor detection and targeted therapy is summarized to provide new research directions for early diagnosis and drug research in the field of oncology.

The rules of nucleic acid assembly (dominated by Watson-Crick base-pairing) have been less difficult to understand and manipulate than the more complicated rules of protein folding. Therefore, nucleic acid nanotechnology has advanced more quickly than de novo protein design, and recent years have seen amazing progress in DNA and RNA design. By combining structural motifs with aptamers that act as affinity handles and add powerful molecular recognition capabilities, nucleic acid-based self-assemblies represent a diverse toolbox for use by bioengineers to create molecules with potentially revolutionary biological activities. In this review, we focus on the development of self-assembling nucleic acid nanostructures that are functionalized with nucleic acid aptamers and their great potential in wide ranging application areas.

Abstract
DNA has been demonstrated to be a versatile material for construction at the nanoscale. DNA nanodevices are highly programmable and allow functionalization with multiple entities such as imaging modalities (fluorophores), targeting entities (aptamers), drug conjugation (chemical linkers), and triggered release (photoresponsive molecules). These features enhance the use of DNA nanodevices in biological applications, catalyzing the rapid growth of this domain of research. In this review, we focus on recent progress in the development and use of aptamer-functionalized DNA nanodevices as theranostic agents, their characterization, applications as delivery platforms, and advantages. We provide a brief background on the development of aptamers and DNA nanodevices in biomedical applications, and we present specific applications of these entities in cancer diagnosis and therapeutics. We conclude with a perspective on the challenges and possible solutions for the clinical translation of aptamer-functionalized DNA nanodevices in the domain of cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Molecular recognition is essential to the development of biomaterials. Aptamers are a unique class of synthetic ligands interacting with not only their target molecules with high affinities and specificities but also their complementary sequences with high fidelity. Thus, aptamers have recently attracted significant attention in the development of an emerging class of biomaterials, that is, aptamer-functionalized hydrogels. In this review, we introduce the methods of incorporating aptamers into hydrogels as pendant motifs or crosslinkers. We further introduce the functions of these hydrogels in recognizing proteins, cells, and analytes through four applications including protein delivery, cell capture, regenerative medicine, and molecular biosensing. Notably, as aptamer-functionalized hydrogels have the characteristics of both aptamers and hydrogels, their potential applications are broad and beyond the scope of this review. This article is categorized under: Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Nucleic Acid-Based Structures Implantable Materials and Surgical Technologies > Nanomaterials and Implants Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies.

Abstract
Specific interactions between ligands and receptors on cell surface play an important role in the cell biological process. Nucleic acid aptamers as commonly used ligands enable specific recognition and tight binding to membrane protein receptors for modulation of cell fate. Therefore, molecular probes with aptamers can be applied for cancer diagnosis and targeted therapy by targeting overexpression membrane proteins of cancer cells. However, because of their fast degradation and rapid glomerulus clearance in vivo, the applications of aptamers in physiological conditions remain challenged. Inspired by natural multivalent interactions, many approaches have been developed to construct multivalent aptamers to improve the performance of aptamers in complex matrices with higher binding affinity, more stability, and longer circulation time. In this review, we first introduce the aptamer generation from purified protein-based SELEX and whole cell-based SELEX for targeting the cell surface. We then highlight the approaches to fabricate multivalent aptamers and discuss their properties. By integrating different materials (including inorganic nanomaterials, diacyllipid, polymeric nanoparticles, and DNA nanostructures) as scaffolds with an interface modification technique, we have summarized four kinds of multivalent aptamers. After that, representative applications in biosensing and targeted therapy are illustrated to show the elevated performance of multivalent aptamers. In addition, we analyze the challenges and opportunities for the clinical practices of multivalent aptamers.

Abstract
Production of small discrete DNA nanostructures containing covalent junctions requires reliable methods for the synthesis and assembly of branched oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) conjugates. This study reports an approach for self-assembly of hard-to-obtain primitive discrete DNA nanostructures-"nanoethylenes", dimers formed by double-stranded oligonucleotides using V-shaped furcate blocks. We scaled up the synthesis of V-shaped oligonucleotide conjugates using pentaerythritol-based diazide and alkyne-modified oligonucleotides using copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and optimized the conditions for "nanoethylene" formation. Next, we designed nanoethylene-based "nanomonomers" containing pendant adapters. They demonstrated smooth and high-yield spontaneous conversion into the smallest cyclic product, DNA tetragon aka "nano-methylcyclobutane". Formation of DNA nanostructures was confirmed using native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) and additionally studied by molecular modeling. The proposed facile approach to discrete DNA nanostructures using precise adapter-directed association expands the toolkit for the realm of DNA origami.
