Abstract
Construction of a simple, reconfigurable, and stimuli-responsive DNA nanocarrier remains a technical challenge. In this contribution, by designing three palindromic fragments, a simplest four-sticky end-contained 3D structural unit (PS-unit) made of two same DNA components is proposed. Via regulating the rotation angle of central longitudinal axis of PS-unit, the oriented assembly of one-component spherical architecture is accomplished with high efficiency. Introduction of an aptamer and sticky tail warehouse into one component creates a size-change-reversible targeted siRNA delivery nanovehicle. Volume swelling of 20 nm allows one carrier to load 1987 siPLK1s. Once entering cancer cells and responding to glutathione (GSH) stimuli, siPLK1s are almost 100% released and original size of nanovehicle is restored, inhibiting the expression of PLK1 protein and substantially suppressing tumor growth (superior to commercial transfection agents) in tumor-bearing mice without systemic toxicity.

Abstract
The assemblies of anisotropic nanomaterials have attracted considerable interest in advanced tumor therapeutics because of the extended surfaces for loading of active molecules and the extraordinary responses to external stimuli for combinatorial therapies. These nanomaterials were usually constructed through templated or seed-mediated hydrothermal reactions, but the lack of uniformity in size and morphology, as well as the process complexities from multiple separation and purification steps, impede their practical use in cancer nanotherapy. Gas-phase epitaxy, also called aerotaxy (AT), has been introduced as an innovative method for the continuous assembly of anisotropic nanomaterials with a uniform distribution. This process does not require expensive crystal substrates and high vacuum conditions. Nevertheless, AT has been used limitedly to build high-aspect-ratio semiconductor nanomaterials. With these considerations, a modified AT was designed for the continuous in-flight assembly of the cell-penetrating Fenton nanoagents (Mn-Fe CaCO3 (AT) and Mn-Fe SiO2 (AT)) in a single-pass gas flow because cellular internalization activity is essential for cancer nanotherapeutics. The modified AT of Mn-Fe CaCO3 and Mn-Fe SiO2 to generate surface nanoroughness significantly enhanced the cellular internalization capability because of the preferential contact mode with the cancer cell membrane for Fenton reaction-induced apoptosis. In addition, it was even workable for doxorubicin (DOX)-resistant cancer cells after DOX loading on the nanoagents. After combining with immune-checkpoint blockers (antiprogrammed death-ligand 1 antibodies), the antitumor effect was improved further with no systemic toxicity as chemo-immuno-chemodynamic combination therapeutics despite the absence of targeting ligands and external stimuli.

Abstract
The structural DNA nanotechnology holds great potential application in bioimaging, drug delivery and cancer therapy. Herein, an intelligent aptamer-incorporated DNA nanonetwork (Apt-Nnes) is demonstrated for cancer cell imaging and targeted drug delivery, which essentially is a micron-scale pattern with the thickness of double-stranded monolayer. Cancer cell-surface receptors can make it perform magical transformation into small size of nanosheet intermediates and specifically enter target cells. The binding affinity of Apt-Nnes is increased by 3-fold due to multivalent binding effect of aptamers and it can maintain the structural integrity in fetal bovine serum (FBS) for 8 h. More interestingly, target cancer cells can cause the structural disassembly, and each resulting unit transports 4963 doxorubicin (Dox) into target cells, causing the specific cellular cytotoxicity. The cell surface receptor-mediated disassembly of large size of DNA nanostructures into small size of fractions provides a valuable insight into developing intelligent DNA nanostructure suitable for biomedical applications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION DNA nanostructures targeting organelles are of great significance for the early diagnosis and precise therapy of human cancers. This review is expected to promote the development of DNA nanostructure-based cancer treatment with organelle-level precision in the future. AREAS COVERED In this review, we introduce the different principles for targeting organelles, summarize the progresses in the development of organelle-targeting DNA nanostructures, highlight their advantages and applications in disease treatment, and discuss current challenges and future prospects. EXPERT OPINION Accurate targeting is a basic problem for effective cancer treatment. However, current DNA nanostructures cannot meet the actual needs. Targeting specific organelles is expected to further improve the therapeutic effect and overcome tumor cell resistance, thereby holding great practical significance for tumor treatment in the clinic. With the deepening of the research on the molecular mechanism of disease development, especially on tumorigenesis and tumor progression, and increasing understanding of the behavior of biological materials in living cells, more versatile DNA nanostructures will be constructed to target subcellular organelles for drug delivery, essentially promoting the early diagnosis of cancers, classification, precise therapy and the estimation of prognosis in the future.

Abstract
Aptamers are short and single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules with highly programmable structures that give them the ability to interact specifically with a large variety of targets, including proteins, cells, and small molecules. Multivalent aptamers refer to molecular constructs that combine two or more identical or different types of aptamers. Multivalency increases the avidity of aptamers, a particularly advantageous feature that allows for significantly increased binding affinities in comparison with aptamer monomers. Another advantage of multivalency is increased aptamer stabilities that confer improved performances under physiological conditions for various applications in clinical settings. The current study aims to review the most recent developments in multivalent aptamer research. The review will first discuss structures of multivalent aptamers. This is followed by detailed discussions on design strategies of multivalent aptamer approaches. Finally, recent developments of the multivalent aptamer approach in biosensing and biomedical applications are highlighted.

Abstract
Reliably distinguishing between cells based on minute differences in receptor density is crucial for cell-cell or virus-cell recognition, the initiation of signal transduction, and selective targeting in directed drug delivery. Such sharp differentiation between different surfaces based on their receptor density can only be achieved by multivalent interactions. Several theoretical and experimental works have contributed to our understanding of this "superselectivity." However, a versatile, controlled experimental model system that allows quantitative measurements on the ligand-receptor level is still missing. Here, we present a multivalent model system based on colloidal particles equipped with surface-mobile DNA linkers that can superselectively target a surface functionalized with the complementary mobile DNA-linkers. Using a combined approach of light microscopy and Foerster resonance energy transfer (FRET), we can directly observe the binding and recruitment of the ligand-receptor pairs in the contact area. We find a nonlinear transition in colloid-surface binding probability with increasing ligand or receptor concentration. In addition, we observe an increased sensitivity with weaker ligand-receptor interactions, and we confirm that the timescale of binding reversibility of individual linkers has a strong influence on superselectivity. These unprecedented insights on the ligand-receptor level provide dynamic information into the multivalent interaction between two fluidic membranes mediated by both mobile receptors and ligands and will enable future work on the role of spatial-temporal ligand-receptor dynamics on colloid-surface binding.
