Abstract
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 efficient cytosolic delivery of proteins is critical for advancing novel therapeutic strategies. Current delivery methods are severely limited by endosomal entrapment, and detection methods lack sophistication in tracking the fate of delivered protein cargo. HaloTag, a commonly used protein in chemical biology and a challenging delivery target, is an exceptional model system for understanding and exploiting cellular delivery. Here, we employed a combinatorial strategy to direct HaloTag to the cytosol. We established the use of Virginia Orange, a pH-sensitive fluorophore, and Janelia Fluor 585, a similar but pH-agnostic fluorophore, in a fluorogenic assay to ascertain protein localization within human cells. Using this assay, we investigated HaloTag delivery upon modification with cell-penetrating peptides, carboxyl group esterification, and cotreatment with an endosomolytic agent. We found efficacious cytosolic entry with two distinct delivery methods. This study expands the toolkit for detecting the cytosolic access of proteins and highlights that multiple intracellular delivery strategies can be used synergistically to effect cytosolic access. Moreover, HaloTag is poised to serve as a platform for the delivery of varied cargo into human cells.

Abstract
This narrative review provides a comprehensive examination of the complex interplay between inflammatory arthritis (IA) and cardiovascular pathology. It particularly illuminates the roles of atherosclerosis initiation, endothelial dysfunction, and glycocalyx shedding. IA not only provokes tissue-specific inflammatory responses, but also engenders a considerable degree of non-specific systemic inflammation. This review underscores the accelerating influence of the chronic inflammatory milieu of IA on cardiovascular disease (CVD) progression. A focal point of our exploration is the critical function of the endothelial glycocalyx (EG) in this acceleration process, which possibly characterizes the earliest phases of atherosclerosis. We delve into the influence of inflammatory mediators on microtubule dynamics, EG modulation, immune cell migration and activation, and lipid dysregulation. We also illuminate the impact of microparticles and microRNA on endothelial function. Further, we elucidate the role of systemic inflammation and sheddases in EG degradation, the repercussions of complement activation, and the essential role of syndecans in preserving EG integrity. Our review provides insight into the complex and dynamic interface between systemic circulation and the endothelium.

Abstract
Nucleic acid amphiphiles, referring to nucleic acids modified with large hydrophobic groups, have been widely used in programmable bioengineering. Since nucleic acids are intrinsically hydrophilic, the hydrophobic groups endow nucleic acid amphiphiles with unique properties, such as self-assembling, interactions with artificial or biological membranes, and transmembrane transport. Importantly, the hybridization or target binding capability of oligonucleotide itself supplies nucleic acid amphiphiles with excellent programmability. As a result, this type of molecule has attracted considerable attention in academic studies and has enormous potential for further applications. For a comprehensive understanding of nucleic acid amphiphiles, we review the reported research on nucleic acid amphiphiles from their molecular design to final applications, in which we summarize the synthetic strategies for nucleic acid amphiphiles and draw much attention to their unique properties in different contexts. Finally, a summary of the applications of nucleic acid amphiphiles in drug development, bioengineering, and bioanalysis are critically discussed.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have shown remarkable potential for vaccine development, but the influence of the size and shape of nanoparticles modulating the T-cell-dependent carbohydrate antigen processing and immunomodulation is poorly investigated. Here, we described how different shapes and sizes of gold nanostructures carrying adjuvant modulate carbohydrate-based antigen processing in murine dendritic cells (mDCs) and subsequent T-cell activation produce a robust antibody response. As a prototype, CpG-adjuvant-coated spherical and rod- and star-shaped AuNPs were conjugated to the tripodal Tn-glycopeptide antigen to study their DC uptake and activation of T-cells in a DCs/T-cell co-culture assay. Our results showed that the spherical and star-shaped AuNPs displayed relatively weak receptor-mediated uptake and endosomal sequestration; however, they induced a high level of T helper-1 (Th1) biasing immune responses compared with rod-shaped AuNPs. Furthermore, the in vivo administration of AuNPs showed that the small spherical and star-shaped AuNPs induced an effective anti-Tn-glycopeptide immunoglobulin (IgG) antibody response compared with rod-shaped AuNPs. These results indicated that one could obtain superior carbohydrate vaccines by varying the shape and size parameters of nanostructures.

Abstract
Engineered nanoparticles approaching the cell body will first encounter and interact with cell-surface glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) before reaching the plasma membrane and becoming internalized. However, how surface GAGs may regulate the cellular entry of nanoparticles remains poorly understood. Herein, it is shown that the surface GAGs of Chinese hamster ovary cells perform as a charge-based barrier against the cellular internalization of anionic polystyrene nanoparticles (PS NPs). In contrast, cationic PS NPs interact favorably with the surface GAGs and thereby are efficiently internalized. Anionic PS NPs eventually reaching the plasma membrane bind to scavenger receptors and are endocytosed by clathrin-mediated and lipid raft/cholesterol-dependent mechanisms, whereas cationic PS NPs are primarily internalized via clathrin-mediated endocytosis and macropinocytosis. Upon the enzymatic shedding of surface GAGs, the uptake of anionic PS NPs increases while that of cationic PS NPs is dramatically reduced. Interestingly, the diminished uptake of cationic PS NPs is observed only when heparan sulfate, but not chondroitin sulfate, is cleaved from the cell surface. Heparan sulfate therefore serves as anchors/first receptors to facilitate the cellular entry of cationic PS NPs. These findings contribute to advance the basic science of nanoparticle endocytosis while also having important implications for the use of engineered nanocarriers as intracellular drug-delivery systems.

Abstract
Cellular processes and functions can be regulated by mechanical forces. Nanodevices that can measure and manipulate these forces are critical tools in chemical and cellular biology. Synthetic DNA oligonucleotides have been used to develop a wide range of powerful nanodevices due to their programmable nature and precise and predictable self-assembly. In recent years, various types of DNA-based mechanical nanodevices have been engineered for studying molecular-level forces. With the help of these nanodevices, our understanding of cellular responses to physical forces has been significantly advanced. In this article, we have reviewed some recent developments in DNA-based mechanical sensors and regulators for application in the characterization of cellular biomechanics and the manipulation of cellular morphology, motion and other functions. The design principles discussed in this article can be further used to inspire other types of powerful DNA-based mechanical nanodevices.

Abstract
Cell mechanical forces play fundamental roles in regulating cellular responses to environmental stimulations. The shortcomings of conventional methods, including force resolution and cellular throughput, make them less accessible to mechanical heterogeneity at the single-cell level. Here, a DNA tensioner platform is introduced with high throughput (>10 000 cells per chip) and pN-level resolution. A microfluidic-based cell array is trapped on "hairpin-structured" DNA tensioners that enable transformation of the mechanical information of living cells into fluorescence signals. By using the platform, one can identify enhanced mechanical forces of drug-resistant cells as compared to their drug-sensitive counterparts, and mechanical differences between metastatic tumor cells in pleural effusion and nonmetastatic histiocytes. Further genetic analysis traces two genes, VEGFA and MINK1, that may play deterministic roles in regulating mechanical heterogeneities. In view of the ubiquity of cells' mechanical forces in the extracellular microenvironment (ECM), this platform shows wide potential to establish links of cellular mechanical heterogeneity to genetic heterogeneity.

Abstract
The cell surface can be engineered with synthetic DNA for various applications ranging from cancer immunotherapy to tissue engineering. However, while elegant methods such as click conjugation and lipid insertion have been developed to engineer the cell surface with DNA, little effort has been made to systematically evaluate and compare these methods. Resultantly, it is often challenging to choose a right method for a certain application or to interpret data from different studies. In this study, we systematically evaluated click conjugation and lipid insertion in terms of cell viability, engineering efficiency, and displaying stability. Cells engineered with both methods can maintain high viability when the concentration of modified DNA is less than 25-50 μM. However, lipid insertion is faster and more efficient in displaying DNA on the cell surface than click conjugation. The efficiency of displaying DNA with lipid insertion is 10-40 times higher than that with click conjugation for a large range of DNA concentration. However, the half-life of physically inserted DNA on the cell surface is 3-4 times lower than that of covalently conjugated DNA, which depends on the working temperature. While the half-life of physically inserted DNA molecules on the cell surface is shorter than that of DNA molecules clicked onto the cell surface, lipid insertion is more effective than click conjugation in the promotion of cell-cell interactions under the two different experimental settings. The data acquired in this work are expected to act as a guideline for choosing an approximate method for engineering the cell surface with synthetic DNA or even other biomolecules.

Abstract
Currently, nucleic acid aptamers are exploited as robust targeting ligands in the biomedical field, due to their specific molecular recognition, little immunogenicity, low cost, ect. Thanks to the facile chemical modification and high hydrophilicity, aptamers can be site-specifically linked with hydrophobic moieties to prepare aptamer-organic amphiphiles (AOAs), which spontaneously assemble into aptamer-organic amphiphile self-assemblies (AOASs). These polyvalent self-assemblies feature with enhanced target-binding ability, increased resistance to nuclease, and efficient cargo-loading, making them powerful platforms for bioapplications, including targeted drug delivery, cell-based cancer therapy, biosensing, and bioimaging. Besides, the morphology of AOASs can be elaborately manipulated for smarter biomedical functions, by regulating the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity ratio of AOAs. Benefiting from the boom in DNA synthesis technology and nanotechnology, various types of AOASs, including aptamer-polymer amphiphile self-assemblies, aptamer-lipid amphiphile self-assemblies, aptamer-cell self-assemblies, ect, have been constructed with great biomedical potential. Particularly, stimuli-responsive AOASs with transformable structure can realize site-specific drug release, enhanced tumor penetration, and specific target molecule detection. Herein, the general synthesis methods of oligonucleotide-organic amphiphiles are firstly summarized. Then recent progress in different types of AOASs for bioapplications and strategies for morphology control are systematically reviewed. The present challenges and future perspectives of this field are also discussed.

Gene therapy has gained popularity in the treatment of incurable diseases. However, cell components, such as surface membrane, cytoskeleton protein, and nuclear envelope, retard the transport of nucleic acids, lowering the transfection efficiency. We developed a physical-chemical hybrid platform (S-RCLs) involving cationic lipid nanoparticles (RCLs) exposed to cyclic stretch. The transfection efficiency and delivery mechanisms of S-RCLs for siRNAs and pDNAs (plasmid DNAs encoding luciferase) were investigated. S-RCLs effectively delivered both siRNAs and pDNAs by overcoming the cell barriers. Mechanistically, S-RCLs promote the cellular uptake mediated by CD44, EH-domain containing 2 (EHD2), and caveolin-1 (CAV-1); intracellular transport via MAP6 Domain Containing 1 (Map6d1) and F-actin; and DNA transcription regulated by LSM3 and Hist1h3e in the nucleus. Thus, S-RCLs are a promising hybrid platform with excellent efficiency and biocompatibility for gene delivery both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Cell-based therapies have the potential to transform the treatment of many diseases. One of the key challenges relating to cell therapies is to modify the cell surface with molecules to modulate cell functions such as targeting, adhesion, migration, and cell–cell interactions, or to deliver drug cargos. Noncovalent insertion of lipid-based amphiphilic molecules on the cell surface is a rapid and nontoxic approach for modifying cells with a variety of bioactive molecules without affecting the cellular functions and viability. A wide variety of lipid amphiphiles, including proteins/peptides, carbohydrates, oligonucleotides, drugs, and synthetic polymers have been designed to spontaneously anchor on the plasma membranes. These molecules typically contain a functional component, a spacer, and a long chain diacyl lipid. Though these molecular constructs appeared to be stably tethered on cell surfaces both in vitro and in vivo under static situations, their stability under mechanical stress (e.g., in the blood flow) remains unclear. Using diacyl lipid-polyethylene glycol (lipo-PEG) conjugates as model amphiphiles, here we report the effect of molecular structures on the amphiphile stability on cell surface under mechanical stress. We analyzed the retention kinetics of lipo-PEGs on erythrocytes in vitro and in vivo and found that under mechanical stress, both the molecular structures of lipid and the PEG spacer have a profound effect on the membrane retention of membrane-anchored amphiphiles. Our findings highlight the importance of molecular design on the dynamic stability of membrane-anchored amphiphiles.

Abstract
In this study, we prepared oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) containing the uridine base modified by an alkyl chain at the 5-position (AU) and characterized their aggregate formation, localization, and functions in cells. These experiments revealed that aggregates of these ODNs were readily transported into cells, but their localization was dependent upon the number of hydrophobic units. ODNs with one modified AU were transported in the cytosol, while ODNs with multiple AU modifications resulted in their accumulation at the cell membrane. We also examined the ability of the AU-modified ODNs to capture small molecules at the cell membrane and their cellular uptake. We positioned a thioflavin-T (ThT)-binding aptamer on the cell membrane by means of hybridization with ODNs with three AUs at the strand end. Treatment with ThT resulted in its efficient uptake into cells, due to the capture of the ThT by the aptamers on the cell membrane. Thus, we demonstrated the functionalization of cell membranes with modified ODNs and the efficient delivery of small molecules into the cells.

Abstract
Synthetic OligoNucleotides (ON) provide promising therapeutic tools for controlling specifically genetic expression in a broad range of diseases from cancers to viral infections. Beside their chemical stability and intracellular delivery, the controlled release of therapeutic sequences remains an important challenge for successful clinical applications. In this work, Lipid-OligoNucleotide (LON) conjugates stabilizing hydrogels are reported and characterized by rheology and cryo-scanning electron microscopy (cryo-SEM). These studies revealed that lipid conjugation of antisense oligonucleotides featuring partial self-complementarity resulted in entangled pearl-necklace networks, which were obtained through micelle-micelle interaction driven by duplex formation. Owing to these properties, the Lipid AntiSense Oligonucleotide (LASO) sequences exhibited a prolonged release after subcutaneous administration compared to the non-lipidic antisense (ASO) one. The LASO self-assembly based hydrogels obtained without adjuvant represent an innovative approach for the sustained self-delivery of therapeutic oligonucleotides.

Abstract
Through targeted binding to the cell membrane, structural DNA nanotechnology has the potential to guide and affix biomolecules such as drugs, growth factors and nanobiosensors to the surfaces of cells. In this study, we investigated the targeted binding efficiency of three distinct DNA origami shapes to cultured endothelial cells via cholesterol anchors. Our results showed that the labeling efficiency is highly dependent on the shape of the origami as well as the number and the location of the binding overhangs. With a uniform surface spacing of binding overhangs, 3D isotropic nanospheres and 1D anisotropic nanorods labeled cells effectively, and the isotropic nanosphere labeling fit well with an independent binding model. Face-decoration and edge-decoration of the anisotropic nanotile were performed to investigate the effects of binding overhang location on cell labeling, and only the edge-decorated nanotiles were successful at labeling cells. Edge proximity studies demonstrated that the labeling efficiency can be modulated in both nanotiles and nanorods by moving the binding overhangs towards the edges and vertices, respectively. Furthermore, we demonstrated that while double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) bridge tethers can rescue the labeling efficiency of the face-decorated rectangular plate, this effect is also dependent on the proximity of bridge tethers to the edges or vertices of the nanostructures. A final comparison of all three nanoshapes revealed that the end-labeled nanorod and the nanosphere achieved the highest absolute labeling intensities, but the highest signal-to-noise ratio, calculated as the ratio of overall labeling to initiator-free background labeling, was achieved by the end-labeled nanorod, with the edge-labeled nanotile coming in second place slightly ahead of the nanosphere. The findings from this study can help us further understand the factors that affect membrane attachment using cholesterol anchors, thus providing guidelines for the rational design of future functional DNA nanostructures.

Abstract
Due to its versatility and programmability, DNA nanotechnology has greatly expanded the experimental toolbox for biomedical research. Recent advances allow reliable and efficient functionalization of cellular plasma membranes with a variety of synthetic DNA constructs, ranging from single strands to complex 3D DNA origami. The scope for applications, which probe biophysical parameters or equip cells with novel functions, is rapidly increasing. These applications extend from programmed cellular connectivity and tissue engineering to molecular force measurements, controlled receptor-ligand interactions, membrane-anchored biosensors, and artificial transmembrane structures. Here, we give guidance on different strategies to functionalize cellular membranes with DNA nanotechnology and summarize current trends employing membrane-anchored DNA as a tool in biophysics, cell biology, and synthetic biology.

Abstract
The relative positioning of cells is a key feature of the microenvironment that organizes cell-cell interactions. To study the interactions between cells of the same or different type, micropatterning techniques have proved useful. DNA Programmed Assembly of Cells (DPAC) is a micropatterning technique that targets the adhesion of cells to a substrate or other cells using DNA hybridization. The most basic operations in DPAC begin with decorating cell membranes with lipid-modified oligonucleotides, then flowing them over a substrate that has been patterned with complementary DNA sequences. Cells adhere selectively to the substrate only where they find a complementary DNA sequence. Non-adherent cells are washed away, revealing a pattern of adherent cells. Additional operations include further rounds of cell-substrate or cell-cell adhesion, as well as transferring the patterns formed by DPAC to an embedding hydrogel for long-term culture. Previously, methods for patterning oligonucleotides on surfaces and decorating cells with DNA sequences required specialized equipment and custom DNA synthesis, respectively. We report an updated version of the protocol, utilizing an inexpensive benchtop photolithography setup and commercially available cholesterol modified oligonucleotides (CMOs) deployed using a modular format. CMO-labeled cells adhere with high efficiency to DNA-patterned substrates. This approach can be used to pattern multiple cell types at once with high precision and to create arrays of microtissues embedded within an extracellular matrix. Advantages of this method include its high resolution, ability to embed cells into a three-dimensional microenvironment without disrupting the micropattern, and flexibility in patterning any cell type.

Abstract
The cell membrane possesses an extensive library of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids that control a significant portion of inter- and intracellular functions, including signaling, proliferation, migration, and adhesion, among others. Augmenting the cell surface composition would open possibilities for advances in therapy, tissue engineering, and probing fundamental cell processes. While genetic engineering has proven effective for many in vitro applications, these techniques result in irreversible changes to cells and are difficult to apply in vivo. Another approach is to instead attach exogenous functional groups to the cell membrane without changing the genetic nature of the cell. This review focuses on more recent approaches of nongenetic methods of cell surface modification through metabolic pathways, anchorage by hydrophobic interactions, and chemical conjugation. Benefits and drawbacks of each approach are considered, followed by a discussion of potential applications for nongenetic cell surface modification and an outlook on the future of the field.

Abstract
The membrane permeability of nucleotide-based drugs, such as sofosbuvir (Sovaldi), requires installation of phosphate-caging groups. One strategy, termed "ProTide", masks the anionic phosphate through an N-linked amino ester and an O-linked aromatic phospho-ester, such that release of the active drug requires consecutive enzymatic liberation by an esterase and then a phosphoramidase, such as Hint1. Because Hint1 is known to be selective for nucleotides, it was not clear if the ProTide approach could be deployed for non-nucleotides. Here, we demonstrate that caging of a phosphate-containing inhibitor of the prolyl isomerase Pin1 increases its permeability. Moreover, this compound was processed by both esterase and phosphoramidase activity, releasing the active molecule to bind and inhibit Pin1 in cells. Thus, Hint1 appears to recognize a broader set of substrates than previously appreciated. It seems possible that other potent, but impermeable, phosphate-containing inhibitors might likewise benefit from this approach.

Abstract
Cell membrane modification is important for tissue engineering, cell-based therapies, and cell biology studies. Recently, oligonucleotides have attracted considerable attention to remodel and functionalize live cell membranes. In particular, a type of amphiphilic lipid-oligonucleotide conjugates have been rationally designed and synthesized for this purpose. These conjugates have enabled a rapid, straightforward and efficient cell membrane modification. Taking advantage of the highly precise and programmable self-assembly of DNAs and RNAs, lipid-oligonucleotide conjugates have been used for membrane bioanalysis, therapeutics, building artificial membrane structures, and regulating cell-surface and cell-cell interactions. In this review, we have summarized the current knowledge in the design, synthesis, and regulating membrane properties of lipid-oligonucleotide conjugates. In addition, their state-of-the-art applications in cell membrane engineering and bioanalysis have been illustrated.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance has become a major issue in public health especially for one of the most used antibiotics; the third-generation cephalosporins. One of the main resistance mechanisms in Enterobacteriaceae, is the production of Extended-Spectrum β-lactamases. Here, we demonstrated that the oligonucleotide therapy is an efficient approach to reduce the resistance of bacteria to antibiotic treatment. Lipid oligonucleotides (LONs) were proved to be efficient strategies in both delivering the oligonucleotide sequences in the prokaryotic cells and decreasing the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of resistant bacteria to a third generation cephalosporin, the ceftriaxone. Accordingly, we demonstrated the strong antimicrobial potential of this LON strategy targeting the ß-lactamase activity on both clinical and laboratory strains. Our results support the concept that the self-delivery of oligonucleotide sequences via lipid conjugation may be extended to other antimicrobial drugs, which opens novel ways to struggle against the antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
Synthetic lipid-DNA probes have recently attracted much attention for cell membrane analysis, transmembrane signal transduction, and regulating intercellular networks. These lipid-DNA probes can spontaneously insert onto plasma membranes simply after incubation. The highly precise and controllable DNA interactions have further allowed the programmable manipulation of these membrane-anchored functional probes. However, we still have quite limited understanding of how these lipid-DNA probes interact with cell membranes and also what parameters determine this process. In this study, we have systematically studied the dynamic process of cell membrane modification with a group of lipid-DNA probes. Our results indicated that the hydrophobicity of the lipid-DNA probes is strongly correlated with their membrane insertion and departure rates. Most cell membrane insertion stems from the monomeric form of probes, rather than the aggregates. Lipid-DNA probes can be removed from cell membranes through either endocytosis or direct outflow into the solution. As a result, long-term probe modifications on cell membranes can be realized in the presence of excess probes in the solution and/or endocytosis inhibitors. For the first time, we have successfully improved the membrane persistence of lipid-DNA probes to more than 24 h. Our quantitative data have dramatically improved our understanding of how lipid-DNA probes dynamically interact with cell membranes. These results can be further used to allow a broad range of applications of lipid-DNA probes for cell membrane analysis and regulation.

Abstract
Efficient cellular delivery of biologically active molecules is one of the key factors that affect the discovery and development of novel drugs. The plasma membrane is the first barrier that prevents direct translocation of chemic entities, and thus obstructs their efficient intracellular delivery. Generally, hydrophilic small molecule drugs are poor permeability that reduce bioavailability and thus limit the clinic application. The cellular uptake of macromolecules and drug carriers is very inefficient without external assistance. Therefore, it is desirable to develop potent delivery systems for achieving effective intracellular delivery of chemic entities. Apart from of the types of delivery strategies, the composition of the cell membrane is critical for delivery efficiency due to the fact that cellular uptake is affected by the interaction between the chemical entity and the plasma membrane. In this review, we aimed to develop a profound understanding of the interactions between delivery systems and components of the plasma membrane. For the purpose, we attempt to present a broad overview of what delivery systems can be used to enhance the intracellular delivery of poorly permeable chemic entities, and how various delivery strategies are applied according to the components of plasma membrane.

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
The ability to direct targeted intercellular interactions has the potential to enable and expand the use of cell-based therapies for regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and immunotherapy. While genetic engineering approaches have proven effective, these techniques are not amenable to all cell types and often yield permanent modifications with potentially long-lasting adverse effects, restricting their application. To circumvent these limitations, there is intense interest in developing non-genetic methods to modify cell membranes with functional groups that will enable the recognition of target cells. While many such techniques have been developed, relatively few have been applied to directing specific cell-cell interactions. This review details these non-genetic membrane engineering approaches-namely, hydrophobic membrane insertion, chemical modification, liposome fusion, metabolic engineering, and enzymatic remodeling-and summarizes their major applications. Based on this analysis, perspective is provided on the ideal features of these systems with an emphasis on the potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
Cloaking its carboxyl groups with a hydrophobic moiety is shown to enable a protein to enter the cytosol of a mammalian cell. Diazo compounds derived from (p-methylphenyl)glycine were screened for the ability to esterify the green fluorescent protein (GFP) in an aqueous environment. Esterification of GFP with 2-diazo-2-(p-methylphenyl)-N,N-dimethylacetamide was efficient. The esterified protein entered the cytosol by traversing the plasma membrane directly, like a small-molecule prodrug. As with prodrugs, the nascent esters are substrates for endogenous esterases, which regenerate native protein. Thus, esterification could provide a general means to deliver native proteins to the cytosol.

Abstract
Responsive molecular designs to specific biosignals in microenvironments endow site-specific functionalities with associated polymers. Thus, the construction of small interfering RNA (siRNA) carriers with functional polymers enables smart programs that are triggered by sequential biosignals in a pathway to the targeted cytosol for effective gene silencing. In this review, we explain rational strategies for the design of functional polymers with responsiveness to biosignals and describe the examples of smart carriers for siRNA delivery.

Abstract
Nucleic acid carriers need to possess multifunctionality for overcoming biological barriers, such as the stable encapsulation of nucleic acids in extracellular milieu, internalization by target cells, controlled intracellular distribution, and release of nucleic acids at the target site of action. To fulfill these stepwise functionalities, "bioresponsive" polymers that can alter their structure responding to site-specific biological signals are highly useful. Notably, pH, redox potential, and enzymatic activities vary along with microenvironments in the body, and thus, the responsiveness to these signals enables to construct nucleic acid carriers with programmed functionalities. This chapter describes the design of bioresponsive polymers that respond to various biological microenvironments for smart nucleic acids delivery.

Abstract
![]()
Lipid
modifications provide efficient targeting of oligonucleotides
to live cell membranes in a range of applications. Targeting efficiency
is a function of the rate of lipid DNA insertion into the cell surface
and its persistence over time. Here we show that increasing lipid
hydrophobicity increases membrane persistence, but decreases the rate
of membrane insertion due to the formation of nonproductive aggregates
in solution. To ameliorate this effect, we split the net hydrophobicity
of the membrane anchor between two complementary oligonucleotides.
When prehybridized in solution, doubly anchored molecules also aggregate
due to their elevated hydrophobicity. However, when added sequentially
to cells, aggregation does not occur so membrane insertion is efficient.
Hybridization between the two strands locks the complexes at the cell
surface by increasing net hydrophobicity, increasing their total concentration
and lifetime, and dramatically improving their utility in a variety
of biomedical applications.

Abstract
As the outmost coating of cells, the pericellular matrix (PCM) involved in various cellular functions has been exploited previously to be able to accumulate 120 nm Au nanoparticles (NPs), adjust their diffusion coefficient similar to that of membrane receptors, and enhance their uptake efficiency. In this study, the interactions between PCM and NPs with different sizes and materials were systematically investigated. We found that PCM can selectively enhance the retention and cellular uptake of NPs with diameters from 50 to 180 nm, but has no enhancement effect for 20 nm NPs. Identical behaviors of PCM was observed for both Au NPs and polystyrene NPs, indicating that this unique phenomenon is more related to the dimensions of the NPs. The study of single-particle tracking of 50-180 nm NPs on the surface of thick PCM cells revealed that PCM actively adjusts the diffusion coefficient of NPs to ∼0.1 μm(2)/s regardless of their sizes. By blocking the receptor-mediated endocytosis (RME) pathway with four different inhibitors, this active role of PCM can be effectively suppressed, further confirming that the trapping and retention of NPs by PCM is an inherent biological function. These findings provided new insights for better understanding of the RME pathway and may have promising NP-based applications for controlled drug delivery and therapy in biomedicine.

Abstract
Lipophilic nucleic acids have become a versatile tool for structuring and functionalization of lipid bilayers and biological membranes as well as cargo vehicles to transport and deliver bioactive compounds, like interference RNA, into cells by taking advantage of reversible hybridization with complementary strands. This contribution reviews the different types of conjugates of lipophilic nucleic acids, and their physicochemical and self-assembly properties. Strategies for choosing a nucleic acid, lipophilic modification, and linker are discussed. Interaction with lipid membranes and its stability, dynamic structure and assembly of lipophilic nucleic acids upon embedding into biological membranes are specific points of the review. A large diversity of conjugates including lipophilic peptide nucleic acid and siRNA provides tailored solutions for specific applications in bio- and nanotechnology as well as in cell biology and medicine, as illustrated through some selected examples.

Abstract
To deliver siRNA for therapeutic use, several hurdles must be addressed. Metabolic degradation must be blocked, and the RNAi cellular machinery is located in the cytoplasm, while double-stranded siRNA is large, highly charged and impermeable to cell membranes. To date, the solutions to the delivery issues have mostly involved different forms of lipid particle encapsulation. Cell-penetrating peptides and their mimics or analogues offer a different approach and this is an emerging field with the first in vivo examples now reported. Recent reports point to lipid receptors being involved in the cellular uptake of both types of transporter. This review examines the delivery of siRNA with a focus on cell-penetrating peptides and their small molecule and oligomeric mimics. The current status of siRNA delivery methods in clinical trials is examined. It now seems that the goal of delivering siRNA therapeutically is achievable but will they form part of a sustainable healthcare portfolio for the future.
