Abstract
DNA nanostructures have long been developed for biomedical purposes, but their controlled delivery in vivo proposes a major challenge for disease theranostics. We previously reported that DNA nanostructures on the scales of tens and hundreds nanometers showed preferential renal excretion or kidney retention, allowing for sensitive evaluation and effective protection of kidney function, in response to events such as unilateral ureter obstruction or acute kidney injury. Encouraged by the positive results, we redirected our focus to the liver, specifically targeting organs noticeably lacking DNA materials, to explore the interaction between DNA nanostructures and the liver. Through PET imaging, we identified SDF and M13 as DNA nanostructures exhibiting significant accumulation in the liver among numerous candidates. Initially, we investigated and assessed their biodistribution, toxicity, and immunogenicity in healthy mice, establishing the structure-function relationship of DNA nanostructures in the normal murine. Subsequently, we employed a mouse model of liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) to validate the nano-bio interactions of SDF and M13 under more challenging pathological conditions. M13 not only exacerbated hepatic oxidative injury but also elevated local apoptosis levels. In contrast, SDF demonstrated remarkable ability to scavenge oxidative responses in the liver, thereby mitigating hepatocyte injury. These compelling results underscore the potential of SDF as a promising therapeutic agent for liver-related conditions. This aimed to elucidate their roles and mechanisms in liver injury, providing a new perspective for the biomedical applications of DNA nanostructures.

Abstract
Structural DNA nanotechnology enables custom fabrication of nanoscale devices and promises diverse biological applications. However, the effects of design on DNA nanostructure (DN)-cell interactions in vitro and in vivo are not yet well-characterized. origamiFISH is a recently developed technique for imaging DNs in cells and tissues. Compared to the use of fluorescent tags, origamiFISH offers label-free and structure-agnostic detection of DNs with significantly improved sensitivity. Here, the origamiFISH technique is extended to quantify DNs in single-cell suspensions, including in nonadherent cells such as subsets of immune cells, via readout by flow cytometry. This method, referred to as origamiFISH-Flow, is high-throughput (e.g., 10 000 cells per second) and compatible with immunostaining for concurrent cell-type and cell-state characterization. It is shown that origamiFISH-Flow provides 20-fold higher signal-to-noise ratio for DN detection compared to dye labeling approaches, leading to the capture of >25-fold more DN+ cells under single-picomolar DN uptake concentrations. Additionally, the use of origamiFISH-Flow is validated to profile the uptake of various DN shapes across multiple cell lines and splenocytes, as well as to quantify in vivo DN accumulation in lymphoid organs. Together, origamiFISH-Flow offers a new tool to interrogate DN interactions with cells and tissues, while providing insights for tailoring their designs in bio-applications.

Abstract
Understanding the pharmacokinetic profiles of nanomaterials in living organisms is essential for their application in disease treatment. Bipyramidal DNA frameworks (BDFs) are a type of DNA nanomaterial that have shown prospects in the fields of molecular imaging and therapy. To serve as a reference for disease-related studies involving the BDF, we constructed a 68Ga-BDF and employed positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to establish its pharmacokinetic model in healthy mice. Our investigation revealed that the BDF was primarily eliminated from the body via the urinary system. Ureteral obstruction could significantly alter the metabolism of the urinary system. By utilizing the established pharmacokinetic model, we sensitively observed distinct imaging indicators in unilateral ureteral obstruction and acute kidney injury (a complication of ureteral obstruction) mouse models. Furthermore, we observed that the BDF showed therapeutic effects in an AKI model. We believe that the established pharmacokinetic model and unique renal excretion characteristics of the BDF will provide researchers with more information for studying kidney diseases.

Abstract
DNA and RNA nanostructures are being investigated as therapeutics, vaccines, and drug delivery systems. These nanostructures can be functionalized with guests ranging from small molecules to proteins with precise spatial and stoichiometric control. This has enabled new strategies to manipulate drug activity and to engineer devices with novel therapeutic functionalities. Although existing studies have offered encouraging in vitro or pre-clinical proof-of-concepts, establishing mechanisms of in vivo delivery is the new frontier for nucleic-acid nanotechnologies. In this review, we first provide a summary of existing literature on the in vivo uses of DNA and RNA nanostructures. Based on their application areas, we discuss current models of nanoparticle delivery, and thereby highlight knowledge gaps on the in vivo interactions of nucleic-acid nanostructures. Finally, we describe techniques and strategies for investigating and engineering these interactions. Together, we propose a framework to establish in vivo design principles and advance the in vivo translation of nucleic-acid nanotechnologies.

Abstract
Researchers have worked for many decades to master the rules of biomolecular design that would allow artificial biopolymer complexes to self-assemble and function similarly to the diverse biochemical constructs displayed in natural biological systems. 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
Framework nucleic acids (FNAs) represent nanoscale oligonucleotide assemblies with unique physical, chemical, and biological properties different from their building blocks. Following simple Watson-Crick base-pairing rules, arbitrary DNA frameworks with diverse shapes, sizes, and dimensions can be prepared with high reproducibility and stability. The programmable assembly of nucleic acids into FNAs presents a highly controllable model for nano-bio interaction studies and allows for scrutiny of "nanostructure-activity relationships." Herein, we present an overview of the recent progress of FNAs in the hope of deepening our understanding of nano-bio interfacing. By investigating various FNAs, we summarize their biological profiles and immune responses as functions of their shape, sizes, and surface charges. We then highlight recent efforts of applying FNAs for biomedical applications and discuss the challenges of FNAs for potential clinical translation. We believe that this mini-review can bring up-to-date information on FNA and shed light on how their design may be harnessed for selective biomedical applications.

Abstract
Purpose DNA nanostructures, with the advantages of structural designability and spatial addressability, have shown a great potential in the field of drug delivery and bio-medicine. Herein, we aimed to prepare technetium-99m radiolabeled DNA cube nanoparticles (99mTc-DCN) and expect to build a DCN-based drug carrier and nuclear medicine imaging platform. Methods DCN could be readily assembled with 6 designed DNA oligonucleotides at an equal mole ratio in a single annealing procedure. 99mTc-MAG3-ssDNA (A20) was obtained by labeling MAG3-ssDNA (A20) with technetium-99m by using a stannous chloride reduction method. 99mTc-DCN was prepared by hybridize DCN with side chains (T20-DCN) with 99mTc-MAG3-ssDNA (A20). The biodistribution study and SPECT/CT imaging were conducted on KM mice. Results DCN was successfully assembled, and as-prepared DCN was characterized by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, atomic force microscope and fluorescence resonance energy transfer. The size of DCN was about 5 nm. The radiolabeling yield of 99mTc-MAG3-ssDNA (A20) was approximately 90% by radio thin-layer chromatography. T20-DCN mixed with 99mTc-MAG3-ssDNA (A20) in PBS could generate 99mTc-DCN upon hybridization. The retention time (RT) of 99mTc-MAG3-ssDNA (A20) was at ~22 min, and the RT of as-prepared 99mTc-DCN was at ~12 min by radio-HPLC. The results from biodistribution study and SPECT/CT imaging showed that a significant proportion of DCNs were metabolized through the liver and kidney. Intestine exhibited a relatively indicative signal as well, which might be explained by the enterohepatic circulation of DCN via the liver and gallbladder. Conclusion We have successfully prepared 99mTc-DCN as a SPECT/CT imaging probe via the side-chain hybridization strategy. The probe was metabolized mainly by the liver and excreted primarily to the bladder. Due to the superior properties of DNA cube nanoparticles, we believe DCN may potentially be translated into a preclinical setting for diagnosis and treatment of cancer-related diseases.

Abstract
DNA cages can be joined together to make larger 3D nanostructures on which molecular electronic circuits and tiny containers are built for drug delivery. The mathematical models for these promising nanomaterials play important roles in clarifying their assembly mechanism and understanding their structures. In this study, we propose a mathematical and computer method to construct permissible topological structures with double-helical edges for a triangular bipyramid and pentangular bipyramid. Furthermore, we remove the same topological links, without eliminating the nonrepeated ones for a triangular bipyramid and pentangular bipyramid. By analyzing characteristics of these unique links, some self-assembly and statistic rules are discussed. This study may obtain some new insights into the DNA assembly from the viewpoint of mathematics, promoting the comprehending and design efficiency of DNA polyhedra with required topological structures.

Abstract
With the rapid development of DNA nanotechnology, strands-based DNA polyhedra have been reported and widely applied in chemical biology, drug delivery and materials science. A fundamental problem is to determine which topological structures such a DNA polyhedron will allow. Our goal in this paper is to determine all permissible nontrivial topological structures for DNA trigonal bipyramids with double-helical edges, which have been partially realized by one-step self-assembly of multiple DNA single-strands designed rationally. Here oriented trigonal bipyramid links (OTB links) are constructed as the mathematical models for DNA trigonal bipyramids and are further classified into 451 link types. In this process, an OTBL program is designed in the Python programming language to generate all OTB link diagrams and also to remove the same topological structures produced by the rotational symmetry of trigonal bipyramid. Our result gives a list of candidates for further synthesized DNA trigonal bipyramid prisms with required topological structures.

Abstract
Effective therapy for protecting dying neurons against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) represents a substantial challenge in the treatment of ischemic strokes. Oxidative stress coupled with excessive inflammation is the main culprit for brain IRI that results in neuronal damage and disability. Specifically, complement component 5a (C5a) exacerbates the vicious cycle between oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. Herein, we propose that a framework nucleic acid (FNA) conjugated with anti-C5a aptamers (aC5a) can selectively reduce C5a-mediated neurotoxicity and effectively alleviate oxidative stress in the brain. Intrathecal injection of the aC5a-conjugated FNA (aC5a-FNA) was applied for the treatment of rats with ischemic strokes. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging was performed to investigate the accumulation of aC5a-FNA in the penumbra and its therapeutic efficacy. Results demonstrated that aC5a-FNA could rapidly penetrate different brain regions after brain IRI. Furthermore, aC5a-FNA effectively protected neurons from brain IRI, as verified by serum tests, tissue staining, biomarker detection, and functional assessment. The protective effect of aC5a-FNA against cerebral IRI in living animals may pave the way for the translation of FNA from bench to bedside and broaden the horizon of FNA in the field of biomedicine.

Abstract
Nanomaterials employed for enhanced drug delivery and therapeutic effects have been extensively investigated in the past decade. The outcome of current anticancer treatments based on conventional nanoparticles is suboptimal, due to the lack of biocompatibility, the deficient tumor targeting, the limited drug accumulation in the diseased region, etc. Alternatively, DNA-based nanocarriers have emerged as a novel and versatile platform to integrate the advantages of nanotechnologies and biological sciences, which shows great promise in addressing the key issues for biomedical studies. Rather than a genetic information carrier, DNA molecules can work as building blocks to fabricate programmable and bio-functional nanostructures based on Watson Crick base-pairing rules. The DNA-based materials have demonstrated unique properties, such as uniform sizes and shapes, pre-designable and programmable nanostructures, site-specific surface functionality and excellent biocompatibility. These intrigue features allow DNA nanostructures to carry functional moieties to realize precise tumor recognition, customized therapeutic functions and stimuli-responsive drug release, making them highly attractive in many aspects of cancer treatment. In this review, we focus on the recent progress in DNA-based self-assembled materials for the biomedical applications, such as molecular imaging, drug delivery for in vitro or in vivo cancer treatments. We introduce the general strategies and essential requirements for fabricating DNA-based nanocarriers. We summarize the advances of DNA-based nanocarriers according to their functionalities and structural properties for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future perspectives regarding the detailed in vivo parameters of DNA materials and the design of intelligent DNA nanomedicine for individualized cancer therapy.

Abstract
DNA self-assembly has proven to be a highly versatile tool for engineering complex and dynamic biocompatible nanostructures from the bottom up with a wide range of potential bioapplications currently being pursued. Primary among these is healthcare, with the goal of developing diagnostic, imaging, and drug delivery devices along with combinatorial theranostic devices. The path to understanding a role for DNA nanotechnology in biomedical sciences is being approached carefully and systematically, starting from analyzing the stability and immune-stimulatory properties of DNA nanostructures in physiological conditions, to estimating their accessibility and application inside cellular and model animal systems. Much remains to be uncovered but the field continues to show promising results toward developing useful biomedical devices. This review discusses some aspects of DNA nanotechnology that makes it a favorable ingredient for creating nanoscale research and biomedical devices and looks at experiments undertaken to determine its stability in vivo. This is presented in conjugation with examples of state-of-the-art developments in biomolecular sensing, imaging, and drug delivery. Finally, some of the major challenges that warrant the attention of the scientific community are highlighted, in order to advance the field into clinically relevant applications.

Abstract
DNA tetrahedron nanostructure (DTN) is one of the simplest DNA nanostructures and has been successfully applied for biosensing, imaging, and treatment of cancer. To facilitate its biomedical applications and potential clinical translation, fundamental understanding of DTN's transportation among major organs in living organisms becomes increasingly important. Here, we describe the efficient renal clearance of DTN in healthy mice by using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The kidney elimination of DTN was later applied for renal function evaluation in murine models of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). We further established a mathematical program of DTN to validate its changes of transportation pattern in healthy and UUO mice. We believe the establishment of pharmacokinetic profiles and mathematical model of DTN may provide insight for future optimization of DNA nanostructures for biomedical applications.
