Abstract
Cell-cell interactions play an important role in many biological processes, and various methods have been developed for controlling the cell-cell interactions. However, the effective and rapid control of intercellular interactions remains challenging. Herein, we report a novel, rapid, and effective electrochemical strategy without destroying the basic life processes for the dynamic control of intercellular interactions via liposome fusion. In the proposed system, bioorthogonal chemical groups and hydroquinone (HQ)- and aminooxy (AO)-tethered ligands were modified on the surface of living cells on the basis of the liposome fusion, enabling dynamical intercellular assemblies. Upon application of the corresponding oxidative potential, the "off-state" HQ could be oxidized to the "on-state" quinone (Q), which subsequently reacts with AO-tethered ligands to form stable oxime linkages under physiological conditions. This reaction effectively shortens the distance between cells, promoting the formation of cell clusters. When the corresponding reverse reductive potential is applied, the oxime linkage is cleaved, resulting in the release of the cells. Furthermore, we employed HQ- and AO-tethered ligands to modify mitochondria, inducing mitochondrial aggregation. This noninvasive and label-free strategy allows for the dynamic reversible regulation of intercellular interactions, enhancing our understanding of intercellular communication networks, and has the potential for improving the antitumor therapy efficacy.

Abstract
Despite many advances in the use of DNA nanodevices as assembly or disassembly modules to build various complex structures, the simultaneous assembly and disassembly of DNA structures in living cells remains a challenge. In this study, we present a modular engineering approach for assembling and disassembling DNA nanodevices in response to endogenous biomarkers. As a result of pairwise prehybridization of original DNA strands, the DNA nanodevice is initially inert. In an effort to bind one of the paired strands and release its complement, nucleolin competes. Assembly of the DNA nanodevice is initiated when the released complement binds to it, and disassembly is initiated when APE1 shears the assembled binding site of the DNA nanodevice. Spatial-temporal logic control is achieved through our approach during the assembly and disassembly of DNA nanodevices. Furthermore, by means of this assembly and disassembly procedure, the sequential detection and imaging of two tumor markers can be achieved, thereby effectively reducing false-positive signal results and accelerating the detection time. This study emphasizes the simultaneous assembly and disassembly of DNA nanodevices controlled by biomarkers in a simple and versatile manner; it has the potential to expand the application scope of DNA nanotechnology and offers an idea for the implementation of precision medicine testing.

Abstract
Complex structures and devices, both natural and artificial, can often undergo assembly and disassembly. Assembly and disassembly allow multiple stimuli to initiate, for example, the assembly and disassembly of primary cilia under the control of E3 ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinases. Although biology relies on such schemes, they are rarely available in materials science. Here, we demonstrate a DNA-functionalized colloidal Au response to endogenous biomarkers to trigger simultaneous assembly and disassembly techniques. Colloidal Au is initially inert because the starting DNA strands are paired and prehybridized. TK1 mRNA competes to bind one of the paired strands and release its complement. The released complement binds to the next colloidal Au to initiate assembly, and APE1 can shear the colloidal Au assembly binding site to initiate disassembly. Our strategy provides temporal and spatial logic control during colloidal Au assembly and disassembly, and this simultaneous assembly and disassembly process can be used for sequential detection and cellular imaging of two biomarkers, effectively reducing signal false-positive results and shortening detection time. This work highlights biomarker-controlled colloidal Au simultaneous assembly and disassembly in ways that are simple and versatile, with the potential to enrich the application scope of DNA nanotechnology and provide an idea for the application of precision medicine testing.

The process of coordinating between the same or multiple types of cells to jointly execute various instructions in a controlled and carefully regulated environment is a very appealing field. In order to provide clearer insight into the role of cell-cell interactions and the cellular communication of this process in their local communities, several interdisciplinary approaches have been employed to enhance the core understanding of this phenomenon. DNA nanostructures have emerged in recent years as one of the most promising tools in exploring cell-cell communication and interactions due to their programmability and addressability. Herein, this review is dedicated to offering a new perspective on using DNA nanostructures to explore the progress of cell-cell communication. After briefly outlining the anchoring strategy of DNA nanostructures on cell membranes and the subsequent dynamic regulation of DNA nanostructures, this paper highlights the significant contribution of DNA nanostructures in monitoring cell-cell communication and regulating its interactions. Finally, we provide a quick overview of the current challenges and potential directions for the application of DNA nanostructures in cellular communication and interactions.

Abstract
The use of nucleic acid-derived fibers has not been developed in contrast to the traditional use of polysaccharide- and protein-based fibers in daily life. Salmon, Oncorhynchus keta, is an abundant fishery resource, and its milt contains a huge amount of DNA. Most of the milt is discarded because it degrades easily and is unsuitable for food consumption. DNA-based fibers are expected to possess functionality and mechanical strength because DNA is a polyanion with a high molecular weight. Here, using DNA extracted from the salmon milt, we produced nucleotide-based fibers. A solution spinning system was applied using ethanol as a coagulant. Adding the salt to the dope solution reduced the solubility of DNA, which was essential for the successful spinning of DNA-based fibers. The obtained fibers became insoluble in water by ultraviolet (UV) exposure. Fibril-like structures were detected on the fracture surface, and humidity influenced the conformational structure. This study focuses on the bulk-scale production of biodegradable DNA-based fibers. Therefore, it can be used not only for clothing and filters but also as a functional material to remove harmful pollutants released into the ocean, such as heavy metal ions and aromatic derivatives.
