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
The construction of gating system in artificial channels is a cutting-edge research direction in understanding biological process and application sensing. Here, by mimicking the gating system, we report a device that easily synthesized single-glass micropipettes functionalized by three-dimensional (3D) DNA network, which triggers the gating mechanism for the detection of biomolecules. Based on this strategy, the gating mechanism shows that single-glass micropipette assembled 3D DNA network is in the "OFF" state, and after collapsing in the presence of ATP, they are in the "ON" state, at which point they exhibit asymmetric response times. In the "ON" process of the gating mechanism, the ascorbic acid phosphate (AAP) can be encapsulated by a 3D DNA network and released in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which initiates a catalyzed cascade reaction under the influence of alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Ultimately, the detection of ALP can be responded to form the fluorescence signal generated by terephthalic acid that has captured hydroxyl radicals, which has a detection range of 0-250 mU/mL and a limit of detection of 50 mU/mL. This work provides a brand-new way and application direction for research of gating mechanism.

Abstract
Natural light-responsive rhodopsins play a critical role in visual conversion, signal transduction, energy transmission, etc., which has aroused extensive interest in the past decade. Inspired by these gorgeous works of living beings, scientists have constructed various biomimetic light-responsive nanochannels to mimic the behaviors of rhodopsins. However, it is still challenging to build stimuli-responsive sub-nanochannels only regulated by visible light as the rhodopsins are always at the sub-nanometer level and regulated by visible light. Pillar[6]arenes have an open cavity of 6.7 Å, which can selectively recognize small organic molecules. They can be connected to ions of ammonium or carboxylate groups on the rims. Therefore, we designed and synthesized the amino and carboxyl-derived side chains of pillar[6]arenes with opposite charges. The sub-nanochannels were constructed through the electrostatic interaction of layer-by-layer self-assembled amino and carboxyl-derived pillar[6]arenes. Then, the natural chromophore of the retinal with visible light-responsive performance was modified on the upper edge of the sub-nanochannel to realize the visible light switched on and off. Finally, we successfully constructed a visible light-responsive sub-nanochannel, providing a novel method for regulating the selective transport of energy-donating molecules of ATP.

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.

Abstract
The energy conversion in plant chloroplast is carried out by pumping protons into the thylakoid for driving ATP synthesis. Inspired by ion active transport in living organisms, we attempted to design an artificial ion pump induced by subnanoconfinement effects. This ionic device uses two polarity functional nanoporous films as ion-selective valves at both ends and UiO-66 metal-organic framework-filled microchannels as ion storage cavities. In the charging process, ions could be pumped into the central cavities by nanovalves, which produced an ion gradient 10 to 100 times higher than the bulk, and were trapped within the subnanocages by dehydration. In the discharging process, the enriched ions were rehydrated and slowly released by the surface charge of the nanovalves, producing a sustainable ion current. The ion storage efficiency of this nanofluidic device could be improved to 60.3%, and the release time of ion current was also prolonged by 1 order of magnitude. This work combines the active and passive transport of ions to realize fast storage and slow release of ionic current, which provides an ion gradient-mediated novel energy conversion strategy.

Abstract
Herein, an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-induced enzyme-catalyzed cascade reaction system based on metal-organic framework/alkaline phosphatase (MOF/ALP) nanocomposites was designed to establish a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) biosensor for use in rapid, sensitive ATP detection. Numerous ALP molecules were first encapsulated using ZIF-90 to temporarily deactivate the enzyme activity, similar to a lock. Au nanostars (AuNSs), as SERS-enhancing substrates, were combined with o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to form AuNSs@OPD, which could significantly improve the Raman signal of OPD. When the target ATP interacted with the MOF/ALP nanocomposites, ATP could act as a key to open the MOF structure, releasing ALP, which should further catalyze the conversion of OPD to oxOPD with the aid of ascorbic acid 2-phosphate. Therefore, with the increasing concentrations of ATP, more ALP was released to catalyze the conversion of OPD, resulting in the reduced intensity of the Raman peak at 1262 cm-1, corresponding to the level of OPD. Based on this principle, the ATP-induced enzyme-catalyzed cascade reaction SERS biosensor enabled the ultrasensitive detection of ATP, with a low detection limit of 0.075 pM. Consequently, this study provides a novel strategy for use in the ultrasensitive, rapid detection of ATP, which displays considerable potential for application in the fields of biomedicine and disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Currently, electronics and iontronics in abiotic-biotic systems can only use electrons and single-species ions as unitary signal carriers. Thus, a mechanism of gating transmission for multiple biosignals in such devices is needed to match and modulate complex aqueous-phase biological systems. Here we report the use of cascade-heterogated biphasic gel iontronics to achieve diverse electronic-to-multi-ionic signal transmission. The cascade-heterogated property determined the transfer free energy barriers experienced by ions and ionic hydration-dehydration states under an electric potential field, fundamentally enhancing the distinction of cross-interface transmission between different ions by several orders of magnitude. Such heterogated or chemical-heterogated iontronics with programmable features can be coupled with multi-ion cross-interface mobilities for hierarchical and selective cross-stage signal transmission. We expect that such iontronics would be ideal candidates for a variety of biotechnology applications.

Abstract
The individual motifs that respond to specific stimuli for the self-assembly of nanomaterials play important roles. In situ constructed nanomaterials are formed spontaneously without human intervention and have promising applications in bioscience. However, due to the complex physiological environment of the human body, designing stimulus-responsive self-assembled nanomaterials in vivo is a challenging problem for researchers. In this article, we discuss the self-assembly principles of various nanomaterials in response to the tissue microenvironment, cell membrane, and intracellular stimuli. We propose the applications and advantages of in situ self-assembly in drug delivery and disease diagnosis and treatment, with a focus on in situ self-assembly at the lesion site, especially in cancer. Additionally, we introduce the significance of introducing exogenous stimulation to construct self-assembly in vivo. Based on this foundation, we put forward the prospects and possible challenges in the field of in situ self-assembly. This review uncovers the relationship between the structure and properties of in situ self-assembled nanomaterials and provides new ideas for innovative drug molecular design and development to solve the problems in the targeted delivery and precision medicine.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202309024. [PMID: 37431599 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202309024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 07/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/12/2023]
Abstract
The constructing of artificial channels with gating functions is an important undertaking for gaining insight into biological process and achieving efficient bionic functions. Typically, controllable transport within such channels relies on either electrostatic or specific interactions between the transporting species and the channel. However, for molecules with weak interactions with the channel, achieving precise gating of the transport remains a significant challenge. In this regard, this study proposes a voltage gating membrane of two-dimensional channels that selectively transport of neutral molecules glucose with a dimension of 0.60 nm. The permeation of glucose is switched on/off by electrochemically manipulating the water dynamics in the nanochannel. Voltage driven-intercalation of ion into the two-dimensional channel causes water to stratify and move closer to the channel walls, thereby resulting in the channel center being emptier for glucose diffusion. Due to the sub-nanometer size dimension of the channel, selective permeation of glucose over sucrose is also achieved in this approach.

Abstract
Light-responsive nanochannels have attracted extensive attention due to their noninvasive external field control and intelligent ion regulation. However, the limited photoresponsive current and the low photoelectric conversion efficiency still restrict their development. Here, a light-controlled nanochannel composed of 4-aminothiophenol and gold nanoparticles-modified mesoporous titania nanopillar arrays and alumina oxide (4-ATP-Au-MTI/AAO) is fabricated by the interfacial super-assembly strategy. Inspired by the process of electron transfer between photosystem I and photosystem II, the efficient electron transfer between TiO2, AuNPs, and 4-ATP under light is achieved by coupling the photoresponsive materials and functional molecules. Under illumination, 4-ATP is oxidized to p-nitrothiophenol (PNTP), which brings about changes in the wettability of the nanochannel, resulting in significant improvement (252.8%) of photoresponsive current. In addition, under the action of the reductant, the nanochannels can be restored to the initial dark state, enabling multiple reversible cycles. This work opens a new route for the fabrication of high-performance light-controlled nanochannels by coupling light-responsive materials and light-responsive molecules, which may guide the development of photoelectric conversion nanochannel systems.

Abstract
Nanopore, due to its advantages of modifiable, controllability and sensitivity, has made a splash in recent years in the fields of biomolecular sequencing, small molecule detection, salt differential power generation, and biomimetic ion channels, etc. In these applications, the role of chemical or biological modification is indispensable. Compared with small molecules, the modification of polymers is more difficult and the methods are more diverse. Choosing appropriate modification method directly determines the success or not of the research, therefore, it is necessary to summarize the polymer modification methods toward nanopores. In addition, it is also important to provide clear and convincing evidence that the nanopore modification is successful, the corresponding characterization methods are also indispensable. Therefore, this review will summarize the methods of polymer modification of nanopores and efficient characterization methods. And we hope that this review will provide some reference value for like-minded researchers.

Abstract
Redox regulation is an inherent feature of nature and plays a crucial role in the transport of ions/small molecules. However, whether redox status affects the biomolecule transport remains largely unknown. To explore the effects of redox status on biomolecule transport, herein, we constructed a glutathione/glutathione disulfide (GSH/GSSG)-driven and pillar[5]arene (P5)-modified artificial nanochannel for protein transport. The results indicate that hemoglobin (Hb) protein is selectively and effectively transported across the GSH-driven P5-modified nanochannel, which suggests that the redox status of the nanochannel could affect the process of protein transport. Therefore, this redox-driven nanochannel could provide a potential application for biomolecule detection and redox-controllable biomolecular drug release.

Abstract
Protein transport is an interesting and intrinsic life feature that is highly relevant to physiology and disease in living beings. Herein, inspired by nature, based on the supramolecular host-guest interaction, we have introduced the classical azobenzene light switches and L-phenylalanine derived pillar[6]arene (L-Phe-P6) into the artificial nanochannel to construct light-responsive nanochannels that could regulate protein transport effectively under the control of ultraviolet (UV) and visible (Vis) light. The light-controlled distribution of L-Phe-P6 in the channel led to the difference in surface charges in the nanochannel, which eventually brought the difference in protein transport. This research may not only provide a convenient theoretical model for biological research, but also a flexible light-responsive protein transport model, which will play a crucial role in light-controlled release of protein drugs and so on.

Abstract
Biological nanochannels perfectly operate in organisms and exquisitely control mass transmembrane transport for complex life process. Inspired by biological nanochannels, plenty of intelligent artificial solid-state nanopores and nanochannels are constructed based on various materials and methods with the development of nanotechnology. Specially, the light-controlled nanopores/nanochannels have attracted much attention due to the unique advantages in terms of that ion and molecular transport can be regulated remotely, spatially and temporally. According to the structure and function of biological ion channels, light-controlled solid-state nanopores/nanochannels can be divided into light-regulated ion channels with ion gating and ion rectification functions, and light-driven ion pumps with active ion transport property. In this review, we present a systematic overview of light-controlled ion channels and ion pumps according to the photo-responsive components in the system. Then, the related applications of solid-state nanopores/nanochannels for molecular sensing, water purification and energy conversion are discussed. Finally, a brief conclusion and short outlook are offered for future development of the nanopore/nanochannel field.

Abstract
The exciton, an excited electron-hole pair bound by Coulomb attraction, plays a key role in photophysics of organic molecules and drives practically important phenomena such as photoinduced mechanical motions of a molecule, photochemical conversions, energy transfer, generation of free charge carriers, etc. Its behavior in extended π-conjugated molecules and disordered organic films is very different and very rich compared with exciton behavior in inorganic semiconductor crystals. Due to the high degree of variability of organic systems themselves, the exciton not only exerts changes on molecules that carry it but undergoes its own changes during all phases of its lifetime, that is, birth, conversion and transport, and decay. The goal of this review is to give a systematic and comprehensive view on exciton behavior in π-conjugated molecules and molecular assemblies at all phases of exciton evolution with emphasis on rates typical for this dynamic picture and various consequences of the above dynamics. To uncover the rich variety of exciton behavior, details of exciton formation, exciton transport, exciton energy conversion, direct and reverse intersystem crossing, and radiative and nonradiative decay are considered in different systems, where these processes lead to or are influenced by static and dynamic disorder, charge distribution symmetry breaking, photoinduced reactions, electron and proton transfer, structural rearrangements, exciton coupling with vibrations and intermediate particles, and exciton dissociation and annihilation as well.

Abstract
Light stimuli have notable advantages over other environmental stimuli, such as more precise spatial and temporal regulation, and the ability to serve as an energy source to power the system. In nature, photoresponsive nanochannels are important components of organisms, with examples including the rhodopsin channels in optic nerve cells and photoresponsive protein channels in the photosynthesis system of plants. Inspired by biological channels, scientists have constructed various photoresponsive, smart solid-state nanochannels membranes for a range of applications. In this review, the methods and applications of photosensitive nanochannels membranes are summarized. The authors believe that this review will inspire researchers to further develop multifunctional artificial nanochannels for applications in the fields of biosensors, stimuli-responsive smart devices, and nanofluidic devices, among others.

Abstract
In this work, a "signal-off" electrochemical biosensor was established for sensitive detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) based on Fe3O4@covalent organic framework-immobilized gold nanoparticles (Fe3O4@COF-Au NPs) porous composite material as a nanocarrier. The proposed Fe3O4@COF-Au NPs could effectively confine Au NPs in the uniform channels of the Fe3O4@COF, which successfully avoided Au NPs aggregation to a certain extent and provided a comparatively independent and stable micro-environment via its hydrophobic porous nanochannels, thereby owning excellent electro-catalytic performance for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. Moreover, the Fe3O4@COF-Au NPs nanomaterials were served as functional platform for immobilizing DNA substrate (S0), which was used to bind with the conversion product (S1) of the target ATP for subsequent branched hybridization chain reaction (b-HCR) to form dendritic DNA strands to hinder electron transfer between Fe3O4@COF-Au NPs and 4-nitrophenol, finally achieving sensitive detection of ATP with a wide linear range of 5 pM-50 μM and a low detection limit of 1.6 pM. Such strategy provides a multifunctional immobilized platform for the sensitive detection of ATP and a versatile strategy for monitoring other biomolecules.

Abstract
Inspired by the nuclear pore complex (NPC), herein we have established a biomimetic high-flux protein delivery system via the ingenious introduction of pillar[5]arene-based host-guest system into one side of artificial hour-glass shaped nanochannel. With a transport flux of 660 lysozymes per minute, the system provides efficient high-flux protein transport at a rate which is significantly higher than that of an unmodified nanochannel and conventional bilateral symmetrical modified nanochannels. In view of these promising results, the use of artificial nanochannel to improve protein transport not only presents a new potential chemical model for biological research and better understanding of protein transport behavior in the living systems, but also provides a high-flux protein transporter device, which may have applications in the design of protein drug release systems, protein separation systems and microfluidics in the near future.

Abstract
Artificial nanochannels with diverse responsive properties have been widely developed to replicate the smart gating functionalities of biological ion channels. However, in these traditional nanochannels, common responsive molecules are usually too small to efficiently block the large channels under the closed states, leading to weak gating performances. Herein, we report carboxylated azobenzene-coordinated metal-organic-framework (AZO-MOF) ion channels with impressive light-gating properties. The AZO-MOF ion channels were synthesized by the confined growth of AZO-MOFs, composed of light-responsive AZO-containing ligands, non-responsive ligands and metal clusters, into ion-track-etched polymer nanochannels. The AZO-MOF ion channels with an appropriate number of AZO ligands showed a well-maintained crystalline and three-dimensional porous structure, including nanoscale cavities and subnanoscale windows for LiCl conduction. Meanwhile, the AZO-containing ligands bend and stretch upon light irradiation to open and close the pathways, thus gating the ion flux through the AZO-MOF ion channels with high on-off ratios up to 40.2, which is ∼2.3-30 times those of AZO-encapsulated MOF ion channels and AZO-modified nanochannels. This work suggests ways to achieve subnanoscaled gating of ion transport by angstrom-porous MOFs coordinated by stimuli-responsive ligands.

Abstract
Biological ion pumps with two separate gates can actively transport ions against the concentration gradient. Developing an artificial nanofluidic device with multiple responsive sites is of great importance to improve its controllability over ion transport to further explore its logic function and mimic the biological process. Here, we propose an electrochemical polymerization method to fabricate electrochemically switchable double-gate nanofluidic devices. The ion transport of the double-gate nanofluidic device can be in situ and reversibly switched among four different states. The logic function of this nanofluidic device is systematically investigated by assuming the gate state as the input and the transmembrane ionic conductance as the output. A biomimetic electrochemical ion pump is then established by alternately applying two different specific logic combinations, realizing an active ion transport under a concentration gradient. This work would inspire further studies to construct complex logical networks and explore bioinspired ion pump systems.

Abstract
Gas-responsive nanochannels have great relevance for applications in many fields. Inspired by CO2-sensitive ion channels, herein we present an approach for designing solid-state nanochannels that allow controlled regulation of ion transport in response to alternate CO2/N2 stimuli. The pillar[5]arene (P5N) bearing diethylamine groups can convert into the water-soluble host P5C, containing cationic tertiary ammonium salt groups after absorbing CO2. Subsequently, the nanochannel walls are tailored using P5N-based host-guest chemistry. The ion transport rate of K+ in the P5N nanochannels under CO2 was 1.66 × 10-4 mol h-1 m-2, whereas that under N2 was 7.98 × 10-4 mol h-1 m-2. Notably, there was no significant change to the ion current after eight cycles, which may indicate the stability and repeatability of CO2-activated ion nanochannels. It is speculated that the difference in ion conductance resulted from the change in wettability and surface charge within the nanochannels in response to the gas stimuli. Achieving CO2-activated ion transport in solid-state nanochannels opens new avenues for biomimetic nanopore systems and advanced separation processes.

Abstract
The individual and collective structure and properties of biomolecules can change dramatically when they are localized at an interface. However, the small spatial extent of interfacial regions poses challenges to the detailed characterization of multiscale processes that dictate the structure and function of large biological units such as peptides, proteins, or nucleic acids. This Perspective surveys a broad set of tools that provide new opportunities to probe complex, dynamic interfaces across the vast range of temporal regimes that connect molecular-scale events to macroscopic observables. An emphasis is placed on the integration over multiple time scales, the use of complementary techniques, and the incorporation of external stimuli to control interfacial properties with spatial, temporal, and chemical specificity.

Abstract
Emerging nanopipette tools have demonstrated substantial potential for advanced single-cell analysis, which plays vital roles from fundamental cellular biology to biomedical diagnostics. Highly recyclable nanopipettes with easy and quick regeneration are of special interest for precise and multiple measurements. However, existing recycle strategies are generally plagued by operational complexity and limited efficiency. Light, acting in a noncontact way, should be the ideal external stimulus to address this issue. Herein, we present the photocontrolled nanopipette capable of probing cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) gradient at single-cell level with good sensitivity, selectivity, and reversibility, which stems from the use of ATP-specific azobenzene (Azo)-incorporated DNA aptamer strands (AIDAS) and thereby the sensible transduction of variable nanopore size by the ionic currents passing through the aperture. Photoisomerized conformational change of the AIDAS by alternative UV/vis light stimulation ensures its noninvasive regeneration and repeated detection. Inducement and inhibition of the cellular ATP could also be probed by this nanosensor.

Abstract
Herein, an ultrasensitive and selective nanofluidic device for tetracycline (TC) was developed in association with γ-cyclodextrin and graphene oxide (GO). The assay was designed based on the change of the nanochannel surface charge due to the selective recognition ability of GO between aptamers and TC-aptamer complexes. And γ-cyclodextrin was utilized to eliminate the excess TC since the amine group molecules were inclined to be adsorbed onto the nanochannel surface and affected the adsorption efficiency of the nanochannel. In the presence of TC, TC specifically binded to the aptamer to form TC-aptamer and was separated from GO. The TC-aptamer complexes could be quantitated with conical nanochannels coated with polyethyleneimine (PEI)/Zr4+. The redundant TC was removed by γ-cyclodextrin. The detection limit of the nanofluidic device was as low as 2 ng L-1 (S/N = 3) and the linear range was 10 ng L-1 to 10 μg L-1. Moreover, the nanofluidic device provided high specificity and good recovery rates of 94.8-109.3% in natural river, tapwater and wastewater samples. The results revealed that our study provided a new rapid detection method for trace contaminant analysis.

Abstract
Inspired by the light-regulating capabilities of naturally occurring rhodopsin, we have constructed a visible-light-regulated Cl- -transport membrane channel based on a supramolecular host-guest interaction. A natural retinal chromophore, capable of a visible-light response, is used as the guest and grafted into the artificial channel. Upon introduction of an ethyl-urea-derived pillar[6]arene (Urea-P6) host, threading or de-threading of the retinal and selective bonding of Cl- can be utilized to regulate ion transport. Based on the visible-light responsiveness of the host-guest interaction, Cl- transport can be regulated by visible light between ON and OFF states. Visible-light-regulated Cl- transport as a chemical model permits to understand comparable biological ion-selective transport behaviors. Furthermore, this result also supplies a smart visible-light-responsive Cl- transporter, which may have applications in natural photoelectric conversion and photo-controlled delivery systems.

Abstract
Biological ion channel-based mass transport and signal transduction play a crucial role in physiological activities, and biomimetic nanochannels in aqueous solutions for ion transport regulation have been extensively studied. Few studies on non-aqueous systems, gel-based nanochannels, mainly focus on the charged gel network or embedded electrolytes. However, the basic issue of how a nanoscale gel network affects the ion transport in nanochannels has been neglected. Here, we demonstrate a non-aqueous biomimetic nanochannel system by employing the agarose hydrogel in conical nanochannels. To tune the hydrogel network by adjusting the gel concentration, the ion transport behavior in gel-based nanochannels is systemically investigated. The experimental results show that the ion transport behaviors in gel-nanochannels with 2% gel present similar ion selectivity and rectification performance to the aqueous system, indicating fast investigation of gel-based systems with the knowledge of the extensively studied aqueous systems. Furthermore, a gel-based solid-state diode and logic circuits were fabricated.

Abstract
Light is a particularly appealing tool for on-demand drug delivery due to its noninvasive nature, ease of application and exquisite temporal and spatial control. Great progress has been achieved in the development of novel light-driven drug delivery strategies with both breadth and depth. Light-controlled drug delivery platforms can be generally categorized into three groups: photochemical, photothermal, and photoisomerization-mediated therapies. Various advanced materials, such as metal nanoparticles, metal sulfides and oxides, metal-organic frameworks, carbon nanomaterials, upconversion nanoparticles, semiconductor nanoparticles, stimuli-responsive micelles, polymer- and liposome-based nanoparticles have been applied for light-stimulated drug delivery. In view of the increasing interest in on-demand targeted drug delivery, we review the development of light-responsive systems with a focus on recent advances, key limitations, and future directions.

Abstract
Although RNA and DNA are best known for their capacity to encode biological information, it has become increasingly clear over the past few decades that these biomolecules are also capable of performing other complex functions, such as molecular recognition (e.g., aptamers) and catalysis (e.g., ribozymes). Building on these foundations, researchers have begun to exploit the predictable base-pairing properties of RNA and DNA in order to utilize nucleic acids as functional materials that can undergo a molecular "switching" process, performing complex functions such as signaling or controlled payload release in response to external stimuli including light, pH, ligand-binding and other microenvironmental cues. Although this field is still in its infancy, these efforts offer exciting potential for the development of biologically based "smart materials". Herein, ongoing progress in the use of nucleic acids as an externally controllable switching material is reviewed. The diverse range of mechanisms that can trigger a stimulus response, and strategies for engineering those functionalities into nucleic acid materials are explored. Finally, recent progress is discussed in incorporating aptamer switches into more complex synthetic nucleic acid-based nanostructures and functionalized smart materials.

Abstract
Designing biochemical systems that can be effectively used in diverse fields, including diagnostics, molecular computing and nanomachines, has long been recognized as an important goal of molecular programming and DNA nanotechnology. A key issue in the development of such practical devices on the nanoscale lies in the development of biochemical components with information-processing capacity. In this article, we propose a molecular device that utilizes DNA strand displacement networks and allows interactive inhibition between two input signals; thus, it is termed a cross-inhibitor. More specifically, the device supplies each input signal with a processor such that the processing of one input signal will interdict the signal of the other. Biochemical experiments are conducted to analyze the interdiction performance with regard to effectiveness, stability and controllability. To illustrate its feasibility, a biochemical framework grounded in this mechanism is presented to determine the winner of a tic-tac-toe game. Our results highlight the potential for DNA strand displacement cascades to act as signal controllers and event triggers to endow molecular systems with the capability of controlling and detecting events and signals.

Abstract
In this paper, an ultrasensitive nanochannel sensor has been proposed for label-free Ochratoxin A (OTA) assay in combination with graphene oxide (GO) and catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA). The high-performance sensor is segmented into two parts. One is composed of graphene oxide (GO) and DNA probes. In the presence of target OTA, OTA works as a catalyst to trigger the self-assembly pathway of the two probes and initiate the cycling of CHA circuits, which results in numerous double-stranded DNAs (dsDNA) in solution. The excess ssDNA probes are removed by GO. The other part is composed of biomimetic nanochannel coated with polyethyleneimine (PEI) and Zr4+, which can quantify the concentration of OTA by detecting the dsDNA in solution. The nanofluidic device has a detection limit of as low as 6.2 pM with an excellent selectivity. The nanochannel based assay was used to analyse food samples (red wine) with satisfied results. Thus, the proposed analytical method will provide a new approach the detection of OTA and can be applied for quality control to ensure food safety.

Abstract
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has been widely used to construct homogeneous structures with increasing complexity for biological and biomedical applications due to their powerful functionalities. Especially, dynamic DNA assemblies (DDAs) have demonstrated the ability to simulate molecular motions and fluctuations in bionic systems. DDAs, including DNA robots, DNA probes, DNA nanochannels, DNA templates, etc., can perform structural transformations or predictable behaviors in response to corresponding stimuli and show potential in the fields of single molecule sensing, drug delivery, molecular assembly, etc. A wave of exploration of the principles in designing and usage of DDAs has occurred, however, knowledge on these concepts is still limited. Although some previous reviews have been reported, systematic and detailed reviews are rare. To achieve a better understanding of the mechanisms in DDAs, herein, the recent progress on the fundamental principles regarding DDAs and their applications are summarized. The relative assembly principles and computer-aided software for their designing are introduced. The advantages and disadvantages of each software are discussed. The motional mechanisms of the DDAs are classified into exogenous and endogenous stimuli-triggered responses. The special dynamic behaviors of DDAs in biomedical applications are also summarized. Moreover, the current challenges and future directions of DDAs are proposed.

Abstract
Mesoscale ionic diodes, which can rectify ionic current at conditions at which their pore size is larger than 100 nm and thus over 100 times larger than the Debye length, have been recently discovered with potential applications in ionic circuits as well as osmotic power generation. Compared with the conventional nanoscale ionic diodes, the mesoscale ionic diodes can offer much higher conductance, ionic current resolution, and power generated. However, the thermal response, which has been proven playing a crucial role in nanofluidic devices, of the mesoscale ionic diode remains significantly unexplored. Here, we report the thermal dependence of the mesoscale ionic diode comprising a conical pore with a tip opening diameter of ∼400 nm. To capture its underlying physics more accurately, our model takes into account the practical equilibrium chemistry reaction of functional carboxyl groups on the pore surface. Modeling results predict that in the mesoscale ionic diode prepared currents increase but the performance decreases with the increase of temperature, which is consistent with our experimental data and indicates that the ion transport properties apparently depend on the presence of highly mobile hydroxide ions. The results gathered can provide important guidance for the design of new mesoscale ionic diodes, enriching their applications in thermoelectric power and thermoresponsive chemical sensors.

Abstract
Nanochannel-based analytical techniques have great potential applications for nucleic acid sequencing and high sensitivity detection of biological molecules. However, the sensitivity of conventional solid-state nanochannel sensors is hampered by a lack of effective signal amplification strategies, which has limited its utility in the field of analytical chemistry. Here we selected a solid-state nanochannnel modified with polyethylenimine and Zr4+ in combination with graphene oxide as the sensing platform. The high-performance sensor is based upon the change of the surface charge of the nanochannel, which is resulted from DNA cascade signal amplification in solution. The target miRNA (miR-122) can be indirectly quantitated with a detection limit of 97.2 aM with an excellent selectivity. Depending on the nucleic acid's hybridization and configuration transform, the designed nanochannel sensing systems can realize the intelligent detection of multiple liver cancer-related miRNA (miR-122 and miR Let-7a) integrating with cascaded INHIBIT-OR logic gate to provide theoretical guidance and technical support for clinical diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation of liver cancer.
