Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is one of the most toxic mycotoxins and poses a high risk to human health. Highly sensitive and rapid detection is one of the most effective preventive measures to avoid potential hazards. Herein, an electrochemical aptasensor based on DNA nanotetrahedron and zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 loading gold nanoparticles, horseradish peroxidase, and aptamers was designed for the ultrasensitive detection of AFB1. The high specific surface area and large pore volume of zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 can increase the loading capacity and further improve the detection sensitivity of electrochemical aptasensors. DNA nanotetrahedron can enhance the capture ability of AFB1 with steady immobilization. The developed aptasensor showed good analytical performance for AFB1 detection, with a detection limit of 3.9 pg mL-1 and a wide linear range of 0.01-100 ng mL-1. The aptasensor detected AFB1 in corn samples with recovery rates ranging from 94.19%-105.77% and has potential for use in food safety monitoring.

Abstract
Nucleic acid nanotechnology has become a promising strategy for disease diagnosis and treatment, owing to remarkable programmability, precision, and biocompatibility. However, current biosensing and biotherapy approaches by nucleic acids exhibit limitations in sensitivity, specificity, versatility, and real-time monitoring. DNA amplification reactions present an advantageous strategy to enhance the performance of biosensing and biotherapy platforms. Non-enzymatic DNA amplification reaction (NEDAR), such as hybridization chain reaction and catalytic hairpin assembly, operate via strand displacement. NEDAR presents distinct advantages over traditional enzymatic DNA amplification reactions, including simplified procedures, milder reaction conditions, higher specificity, enhanced controllability, and excellent versatility. Consequently, research focusing on NEDAR-based biosensing and biotherapy has garnered significant attention. NEDAR demonstrates high efficacy in detecting multiple types of biomarkers, including nucleic acids, small molecules, and proteins, with high sensitivity and specificity, enabling the parallel detection of multiple targets. Besides, NEDAR can strengthen drug therapy, cellular behavior control, and cell encapsulation. Moreover, NEDAR holds promise for constructing assembled diagnosis-treatment nanoplatforms in the forms of pure DNA nanostructures and hybrid nanomaterials, which offer utility in disease monitoring and precise treatment. Thus, this paper aims to comprehensively elucidate the reaction mechanism of NEDAR and review the substantial advancements in NEDAR-based diagnosis and treatment over the past five years, encompassing NEDAR-based design strategies, applications, and prospects.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a widespread contaminant in food and feeds, poses a threat to the health of animals and humans. Consequently, it is significant to develop a rapid, precise and highly sensitive analytical method for the detection of AFB1. Herein, we developed an immunochromatographic strip (ICS) based on a tetrahedral DNA (TDN) immunoprobe for AFB1 determination in rice bran oil. Three sizes of TDN immunoprobes (AuNP-TDN13bp-mAb, AuNP-TDN17bp-mAb, AuNP-TDN26bp-mAb) were constructed, and the performance of these three immunoprobes, including the effective antibody labeling density and immunoaffinity, was measured and compared with that of the immunoprobe (AuNP-mAb) developed using the physical adsorption method. Subsequently, the optimal TDN immunoprobe, namely AuNP-TDN13bp-mAb, was selected to prepare the immunochromatographic strip (ICS) for the qualitative and quantitative detection of AFB1 in rice bran oil. The visual limits of detection (vLODs) of the ICS based on AuNP-TDN13bp-mAb and AuNP-mAb were 0.2 ng/mL and 2 ng/mL, with scanning quantitative limits (sLOQs) of 0.13 ng/mL and 1.4 ng/mL, respectively. The ICS demonstrated a wide linear range from 0.02 ng/mL to 0.5 ng/mL, with good specificity, accuracy, precision, repeatability, and stability. Moreover, a high consistency was observed between the constructed ICS and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) in the quantification of AFB1. The results indicated that the introduction of TDN was beneficial for promoting efficient antibody labeling, protecting the bioactivity of immunoprobes, and increasing the sensitivity of detection, which would provide new perspectives for the achievement of the highly sensitive detection of mycotoxins.

Abstract
In medical diagnosis, relying on only one type of biomarker is insufficient to accurately identify cancer. Blood-based multicancer early detection can help identify more than one type of cancer from a single blood sample. In this study, a super-resolution multispectral imaging nanoimmunosensor (srMINI) based on three quantum dots (QDs) of different color conjugated with streptavidin was developed for the simultaneous screening of various cancer biomarkers in blood at the single-molecule level. In the experiment, the srMINI chip was used to simultaneously detect three key cancer biomarkers: carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), C-reactive protein (CRP), and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). The srMINI chip exhibited 108 times higher detection sensitivity of 0.18-0.5 ag/mL (1.1-2.6 zM) for these cancer biomarkers than commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits because of the absence of interfering signals from the substrate, establishing considerable potential for multiplex detection of cancer biomarkers in blood. Therefore, the simultaneous detection of various cancer biomarkers using the developed srMINI chip with high diagnostic precision and accuracy is expected to play a decisive role in early diagnosis or community screening as a single-molecule biosensor.

Abstract
It is known that the abnormal expression of specific cellular miRNAs is closely related to cell apoptosis, and so monitoring the level change of these miRNAs can in principle be used to evaluate the process of apoptosis stimulated by drugs. Towards this goal, here we construct an ultrasensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) nanoplatform via the target miRNA-triggered immobilization of spherical nucleic acid enzymes (SNAzymes) onto tetrahedral DNA nanostructures on the electrode surface, which catalyzes the luminol-H2O2 reaction to output an ECL signal. This enables the sensitive and specific detection of two apoptosis-related miRNAs, miR-21 and miR-133a, with a detection limit of 33 aM. Furthermore, we employed the developed ECL nanoplatform to monitor the levels of these two miRNAs inside cancer cells stimulated by DOX, showing that the level of miR-21 decreases, while that of miR-133a increases in the early apoptotic cells. This difference highlights the distinct roles of the two target miRNAs, where miR-21 promotes the early apoptosis of cancer cells, whereas miR-133a suppresses it, providing new insight into cell physiological processes.

Abstract
Nucleic acid detection plays a crucial role in various aspects of health care, necessitating accessible and reliable quantification methods, especially in resource-limited settings. This work presents a simplified electrochemical approach for end-point yet quantitative nucleic acid detection. By elevating the concentration of redox species and choosing potential as the signals, we achieved enhanced signal robustness, even in the presence of interfering substances. Leveraging this robustness, we accurately measured pH-induced redox potential changes in methylene blue solution for end-point nucleic acid detection after loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). Our method demonstrated quantitative detection of the SARS-CoV-2 N gene and human ATCB gene and successful discrimination of the human BRAF V600E mutation, comparable in sensitivity to commercial kits. The developed user-friendly electrochemical method offers a simplified and reliable approach for end-point yet quantitative detection of nucleic acids, potentially expanding the benefits of nucleic acid testing in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
Nucleic acids are considered as promising materials for developing exquisite nanostructures from one to three dimensions. The advances of DNA nanotechnology facilitate ingenious design of DNA nanostructures with diverse shapes and sizes. Especially, the algebraic topological framework nucleic acids (ATFNAs) are functional DNA nanostructures that engineer guest molecules (e. g., nucleic acids, proteins, small molecules, and nanoparticles) stoichiometrically and spatially. The intrinsic precise properties and tailorable functionalities of ATFNAs hold great promise for biological applications, such as cell recognition and immunotherapy.

Abstract
Population outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) seriously threaten the sustainability of coral reef ecosystems. However, traditional ecological monitoring techniques cannot provide early warning before the outbreaks, thus preventing timely intervention. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more accurate and faster technology to predict the outbreaks of COTS. In this work, we developed an electrochemical biosensor based on a programmed catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) cyclic amplification strategy for sensitive and selective detection of COTS environmental DNA (eDNA) in water bodies. This biosensor exhibited excellent electrochemical characteristics, including a low limit of detection (LOD = 18.4 fM), low limit of quantification (LOQ = 41.1 fM), and wide linear range (50 fM - 10 nM). The biosensing technology successfully allowed the detection of COTS eDNA in the aquarium environment, and the results also demonstrated a significant correlation between eDNA concentration and COTS number (r = 0.990; P < 0.001). The reliability and accuracy of the biosensor results have been further validated through comparison with digital droplet PCR (ddPCR). Moreover, the applicability and accuracy of the biosensor were reconfirmed in field tests at the COTS outbreak site in the South China Sea, which has shown potential application in dynamically monitoring the larvae before the COTS outbreak. Therefore, this efficient electrochemical biosensing technology offers a new solution for on-site monitoring and early warning of the COTS outbreak.

Chronoamperometric interrogation of an electrochemical aptamer-based sensor with tetrahedral DNA nanostructure pendulums for continuous biomarker measurements. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1305:342587.

Abstract
Tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (TDN) is highly promising in developing electrochemical aptamer-based (E-AB) sensors for biomolecular detection, owing to its inherit programmability, spatial orientation and structural robustness. However, current interrogation strategies applied for TDN-based E-AB sensors, including enzyme-based amperometry, voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, either require complicated probe design or suffer from limited applicability or selectivity. In this study, a TDN pendulum-empowered E-AB sensor interrogated by chronoamperometry for reagent-free and continuous monitoring of a blood clotting enzyme, thrombin, was developed. TDN pendulums with extended aptamer sequences at three vertices were immobilized on a gold electrode via a thiolated double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) at the fourth vertex, and their motion is modulated by the bonding of target thrombin to aptamers. We observed a significantly amplified signalling output on our sensor based on the TDN pendulum compared to E-AB sensors modified with linear pendulums. Moreover, our sensor achieved highly selective and rapidly responsive measurement of thrombin in both PBS and artificial urine, with a wide dynamic range from 1 pM to 10 nM. This study shows chronoamperometry-enabled continuous biomarker monitoring on a sub-second timescale with a drift-free baseline, demonstrating a novel approach to accurately detect molecular dynamics in real time.

Abstract
Owing to advantage in high sensitivity and fast response, aptamer based electrochemical biosensors have attracted much more attention. However, inappropriate interfacial engineering strategy leads to poor recognition performance, which ascribe to the following factors of immobilized oligonucleotide strand including steric hindrance, interchain entanglement, and unfavorable conformation. In this work, we proposed a DNA tetrahedron based diblock aptamer immobilized strategy for the construction of label-free electrochemical biosensor. The diblock aptamer sequence is composite of T-rich anchor domain and recognition domain, where T-rich domain enabling anchored on the edge of DNA tetrahedron via Hoogsteen hydrogen bond at neutral condition. The DNA tetrahedron scaffold offers an appropriate lateral space for target recognition of diblock aptamer. More importantly, this trivalent aptamer recognition interface can be regenerated by simply adjusting the pH environment to alkaline, resulting in the dissociation of diblock aptamer. Under the optimum condition, proposed electrochemical aptasensor manifested a satisfied sensitivity for aminoglycosides antibiotic, kanamycin with a limit of detection of 0.69 nM, which is 45-fold lower than traditional Au-S immobilization strategy. Moreover, the proposed aptasensor had also successfully been extended to ampicillin detection by changing the sequence of recognition domain in diblock aptamer. This work paves a new way for the rational design of aptamer-based electrochemical sensor.

Abstract
Identification and characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from blood samples of patients with cancer can help monitor parameters such as disease stage, disease progression and therapeutic efficiency. However, the sensitivity and specificity of current multivalent approaches used for CTC capture is limited by the lack of control over the ligands' position. In this Protocol Update, we describe DNA-tetrahedral frameworks anchored with aptamers that can be configured with user-defined spatial arrangements and stoichiometries. The modified tetrahedral DNA frameworks, termed 'n-simplexes', can be used as probes to specifically target receptor-ligand interactions on the cell membrane. Here, we describe the synthesis and use of n-simplexes that target the epithelial cell adhesion molecule expressed on the surface of CTCs. The characterization of the n-simplexes includes measuring the binding affinity to the membrane receptors as a result of the spatial arrangement and stoichiometry of the aptamers. We further detail the capture of CTCs from patient blood samples. The procedure for the preparation and characterization of n-simplexes requires 11.5 h, CTC capture from clinical samples and data processing requires ~5 h per six samples and the downstream analysis of captured cells typically requires 5.5 h. The protocol is suitable for users with basic expertise in molecular biology and handling of clinical samples.

Abstract
Generally, two-dimensional gold nanomaterials have unique properties and functions that offer exciting application prospects. However, the crystal phases of these materials tend to be limited to the thermodynamically stable crystal structure. Herein, we report a DNA framework-templated approach for the ambient aqueous synthesis of freestanding and microscale amorphous gold nanosheets with ultrathin sub-nanometer thickness. We observe that extended single-stranded DNA on DNA nanosheets can induce site-specific metallization and enable precise modification of the metalized nanostructures at predefined positions. More importantly, the as-prepared gold nanosheets can serve as an electrocatalyst for glucose oxidase-catalyzed aerobic oxidation, exhibiting enhanced electrocatalytic activity (~3-fold) relative to discrete gold nanoclusters owing to a larger electrochemical active area and wider band gap. The proposed DNA framework-templated metallization strategy is expected to be applicable in a broad range of fields, from catalysis to new energy materials.

Abstract
Real-time and continuous monitoring of nucleic acid biomarkers with wearable devices holds potential for personal health management, especially in the context of pandemic surveillance or intensive care unit disease. However, achieving high sensitivity and long-term stability remains challenging. Here, we report a tetrahedral nanostructure-based Natronobacterium gregoryi Argonaute (NgAgo) for long-term stable monitoring of ultratrace unamplified nucleic acids (cell-free DNAs and RNAs) in vivo for sepsis on wearable device. This integrated wireless wearable consists of a flexible circuit board, a microneedle biosensor, and a stretchable epidermis patch with enrichment capability. We comprehensively investigate the recognition mechanism of nucleic acids by NgAgo/guide DNA and signal transformation within the Debye distance. In vivo experiments demonstrate the suitability for real-time monitoring of cell-free DNA and RNA with a sensitivity of 0.3 fM up to 14 days. These results provide a strategy for highly sensitive molecular recognition in vivo and for on-body detection of nucleic acid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles (30-160 nm) with endosome origin secreted by almost all types of cells, which are considered to be messengers of intercellular communication. Cancerous exosomes serve as a rich source of biomarkers for monitoring changes in cancer-related physiological status, because they carry a large number of biological macromolecules derived from parental tumors. The ultrasensitive quantification of trace amounts of cancerous exosomes is highly valuable for non-invasive early cancer diagnosis, yet it remains challenging. Herein, we developed an aptamer-carrying tetrahedral DNA (Apt-TDNA) microelectrode sensor, assisted by a polydopamine (PDA) coating with semiconducting properties, for the ultrasensitive electrochemical detection of cancer-derived exosomes. RESULTS The stable rigid structure and orientation of Apt-TDNA ensured efficient capture of suspended exosomes. Without PDA coating signal amplification strategy, the sensor has a linear working range of 102-107 particles mL-1, with LOD of ~ 69 exosomes and ~ 42 exosomes for EIS and DPV, respectively. With PDA coating, the electrochemical signal of the microelectrode is further amplified, achieving single particle level sensitivity (~ 14 exosomes by EIS and ~ 6 exosomes by DPV). CONCLUSIONS The proposed PDA-assisted Apt-TDNA microelectrode sensor, which integrates efficient exosome capture, sensitive electrochemical signal feedback with PDA coating signal amplification, provides a new avenue for the development of simple and sensitive electrochemical sensing techniques in non-invasive cancer diagnosis and monitoring treatment response.

Abstract
Based on the electrochemical impedance method, a marker-free biosensor with aptamer as a biometric element was developed for the determination of doxorubicin (DOX). By combining aptamer with rigid tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs) and fixing them on the surface of gold electrode (GE) as biometric elements, the density and directivity of surface nanoprobes improved, and DOX was captured with high sensitivity and specificity. DOX was captured by immobilized aptamers on the GE, which inhibited electron transfer between the GE and [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- in solution, resulting in a change in electrochemical impedance. When the DOX concentration was between 10.0 and 100.0 nM, the aptasensor showed a linear relationship with charge transfer resistance, the relative standard deviation (RSD) ranged from 3.6 to 5.9%, and the detection limit (LOD) was 3.0 nM. This technique offered a successful performance for the determination of the target analyte in serum samples with recovery in the range 97.0 to 99.6% and RSD ranged from 4.8 to 6.5%. This method displayed the advantages of fast response speed, good selectivity, and simple sensor structure and showed potential application in therapeutic drug monitoring.

Abstract
Microelectronic devices can directly communicate with biology, as electronic information can be transmitted via redox reactions within biological systems. By engineering biology's native redox networks, we enable electronic interrogation and control of biological systems at several hierarchical levels: proteins, cells, and cell consortia. First, electro-biofabrication facilitates on-device biological component assembly. Then, electrode-actuated redox data transmission and redox-linked synthetic biology allows programming of enzyme activity and closed-loop electrogenetic control of cellular function. Specifically, horseradish peroxidase is assembled onto interdigitated electrodes where electrode-generated hydrogen peroxide controls its activity. E. coli's stress response regulon, oxyRS, is rewired to enable algorithm-based feedback control of gene expression, including an eCRISPR module that switches cell-cell quorum sensing communication from one autoinducer to another-creating an electronically controlled 'bilingual' cell. Then, these disparate redox-guided devices are wirelessly connected, enabling real-time communication and user-based control. We suggest these methodologies will help us to better understand and develop sophisticated control for biology.

Abstract
Sensitive, intelligent point-of-care test (iPOCT) methods for small molecules like aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) are urgently needed for food and the environment. The challenge remains of surface control in iPOCT. Herein, we developed an electrochemical sensor based on the DNA pyramid (DNP), combining a smartphone, app, and mobile electrochemical workstations to detect AFB1. The DNP's structure can reduce local overcrowding and entanglement between neighboring probes, control the density and orientation of recognition probes (antibodies), produce uniform and orientational surface assemblies, and improve antigen-antibody-specific recognition and binding efficiency. Simultaneously, the hollow structure of the DNP enhances the electron transfer capacity and increases the sensitivity of electrochemical detection. In this work, the biosensor based on DNP was first combined with electrochemical (Ec) iPOCT to simultaneously achieve ordered interface modulation of recognition probes and intelligent detection of AFB1. Under optimal conditions, we found a detection limit of 3 pg/mL and a linear range of 0.006-30 ng/mL (R2 = 0.995). Further, using peanut, soybean, corn, and lake water as complex matrices, it recorded recoveries of 82.15-100.53%, excellent selectivity, acceptable stability, and good reproducibility. Finally, this Ec iPOCT provides consistent results compared to the high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method.

Abstract
It is of great significance for the analysis of multiple biomarkers because a single biomarker is difficult to accurately achieve early diagnosis, disease course monitoring, and prognosis evaluation. Herein, a luminescence thermosensitive hydrogel was synthesized by radical polymerization using a methacrylic acid derivative monomer of luminol (LuMA) as luminescent, N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) as thermosensitive monomer, and acrydite-oligonucleotides [dopamine (DA) aptamer, DNA C1, and DNA C2] as recognition elements. The combined DA based on the affinity interaction between the DA and the aptamer on the hydrogel polymer chain was electrochemically oxidized to dopamine quinone during the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) scanning, which effectively quenched the ECL signal of LuMA due to the resonance energy transfer (RET). In addition, the thermosensitive hydrogel showed swelling-collapse characteristics when the temperature was below and above the volume phase transition temperature. Undergoing the collapse process initiated by the temperature, the RET efficiency was further enhanced due to the shortened distance between the energy donor and acceptor, showing a 1.4 times signal amplification and achieving sensitive detection of DA with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.7 × 10-10 M. For a proof of concept application, coupled with the target-induced release of DA from the DNA-magnetic beads bioconjugations based on duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-assisted target recycling amplification strategy and DNAzyme cleavage reaction, this ECL-RET approach was successfully used to evaluate multiple targets including miRNA-141 and MUC1 with the LOD of 2.5 aM and 1.6 fg/mL, respectively. The excellent performances of the versatile and robust ECL-RET hydrogel in multiple target sensing showed potential applications in clinical diagnosis and disease therapeutic assay.

Abstract
Tumor-derived circulating exosomes (TDEs) are being pursued as informative and noninvasive biomarkers. However, quantitatively detecting TDEs is still challenging. Herein, we constructed a DNA tetrahedral-structured probe (TSP)-mediated microfluidic magnetic detection system (μFMS) to provide a rapid and sensitive platform for analyzing TDEs. CD63 aptamer-modified Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were constructed to form magnetic nano-report probes (MNRs). The microfluidic chips were fabricated from glass functionalized with DNA TSP-modified aldehyde groups and a PDMS layer designed with serpentine microchannels. An induction coil-based magnetic detector was used to measure the magnetic signal. The linear dynamic range of the μFMS system for TDE assays was 1.98 × 103-1.98 × 107 particles/mL with a limit of detection of 1.98 × 103 particles/mL in PBS. There was no significant difference in TDE detection between the simulated serum and PBS, which indicated the feasibility of the constructed μFMS system for TDE analysis in complex biological systems. In terms of cost, reaction time and operation procedure, this μFMS has the potential to be developed as a clinical point-of-care testing tool for cancer diagnosis and therapeutics.

Abstract
Regulation of the reaction pathways is a perennial theme in the field of chemistry. As a typical chromogenic substrate, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) generally undertakes one-electron oxidation, but the product (TMBox1) is essentially a confused complex and is unstable, which significantly hampers the clinic chromogenic bioassays for more than 50 years. Herein, we report that sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-based micelles could drive the direct two-electron oxidation of TMB to the final stable TMBox2. Rather than activation of H2O2 oxidant in the one-electron TMB oxidation by common natural peroxidase, activation of the TMB substrate by SDS micelles decoupled the thermodynamically favorable complex between TMBox2 with unreacted TMB, leading to an unusual direct two-electron oxidation pathway. Mechanism studies demonstrated that the complementary spatial and electrostatic isolation effects, caused by the confined hydrophobic cavities and negatively charged outer surfaces of SDS micelles, were crucial. Further cascading with glucose oxidase, as a proof-of-concept application, allowed glucose to be more reliably measured, even in a broader range of concentrations without any conventional strong acid termination.

Abstract
Easy-to-use, reliable, and real-time methods for detecting heavy metal ion contamination are urgently required, which is a primary concern for water pollution control and human health. However, present methods for this aim are still unable to achieve simultaneous multianalysis for complex real sample detection. Herein, an intellectualized vision-based single-nanoparticle Raman imaging strategy combined with ion-responsive functional nucleic acids (FNAs) was proposed to address these issues. We reported a correspondence between the concentration of the analytes and the density of particles (DOP) of specifically captured nanoparticles to achieve sensitive detection and simultaneous multianalysis of heavy metal ions. The specific detection of Pb2+ (Hg2+) was obtained with a detection linear range from 100 pM to 100 nM (from 500 fM to 100 nM) and limit of detections low to 1 pM (100 fM), with the advantages of good specificity, excellent homogeneity, and reproducibility. Furthermore, the differentiation of different heavy metal ions (Pb2+/Hg2+) was achieved, i.e., the simultaneous multianalysis, based on Raman imaging of the single particle and intelligent machine vision method. Finally, the Raman imaging assay was utilized for real sample analysis, and it provided a powerful and reliable tool for detecting trace Pb2+/Hg2+ in real water samples and facilitated the portable on-site monitoring of heavy metal ions.

Abstract
Indirect surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based methods are highly efficient in detecting and quantitatively analyzing trace antibiotics in complex samples. However, the poor reproducibility of indirect SERS assays caused by the diffusion and orientation changes of the probing molecules on SERS substrates still presents a significant challenge. To address this issue, this study reports the construction of a novel SERS sensing platform using tetrahedral framework nucleic acid (tFNA) as SERS probes in conjunction with a long-range SERS (LR-SERS) substrate. The tFNA was modified with sulfhydryl groups at three vertices and appended with a probing DNA at the remaining vertex, anchored on the substrate surface with a well-ordered orientation and stable coverage density, resulting in highly reproducible SERS signals. Owing to the weak SERS signal of tFNA inherited from its size being larger than the effective range of the enhancing electric field (E-field) of conventional SERS substrates, we utilized an LR-SERS substrate to enhance the signal of tFNA probes by capitalizing on its extended E-field. Correspondingly, the LR-SERS substrate demonstrated a 54-fold increase in the intensity of tFNA probes compared to the conventional substrate. Using this novel platform, we achieved a highly reliable detection of the antibiotic ampicillin with a wide linear range (10 fM to 1 nM), low detection limit (3.1 fM), small relative standard deviation (3.12%), and yielded quantitative recoveries of 97-102% for ampicillin in water, milk, and human serum samples. These findings, therefore, effectively demonstrate the achievement of highly reliable SERS detection of antibiotics using framework nucleic acids and an LR-SERS substrate.

Abstract
Bio-markers, such as ions, small molecules, nucleic acids, peptides, proteins and cells, participate in the construction of living organisms and play important roles in biological processes. It is of great significance to accurately detect these bio-markers for studying their basic functions, the development of molecular diagnosis and to better understand life processes. Solid-state nanochannel-based sensing systems have been demonstrated for the detection of bio-markers, due to their rapid, label-free and high-throughput screening, with high sensitivity and specificity. Generally, studies on solid-state nanochannels have focused on probes on the inner-wall (PIW), ignoring probes on the outer-surface (POS). As a result, the direct detection of cells is difficult to realize by these inner-wall focused nanochannels. Moreover, the sensitivity for detecting ions, small molecules, nucleic acids, peptides and proteins requires further improvement. Recent research has focused on artificial solid-state nanochannels with POS, which have demonstrated the ability to independently regulate ion transport. This design not only contributes to the in situ detection of large analytes, such as cells, but also provides promising opportunities for ultra-high sensitivity detection with a clear mechanism. In this tutorial review, we present an overview of the detection principle used for solid-state nanochannels, inner-wall focused nanochannels and outer-surface focused nanochannels. Furthermore, we discuss the remaining challenges faced by current nanochannel technologies and provide insights into their prospects.

Abstract
Tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (TDN), as a classical bionanomaterial, which not only has excellent structural stability and rigidity, but also possesses high programmability due to strict base-pairs complementation, is widely used in various biosensing and bioanalysis fields. In this study, we first constructed a novel biosensor based on Uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) -triggered collapse of TDN and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TDT)-induced insertion of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) for fluorescence and visual analysis of UDG activity. In the presence of the target enzyme UDG, the uracil base modified on the TDN were specifically identified and removed to produce an abasic site (AP site). Endonuclease IV (Endo.IV) could cleave the AP site, making the TDN collapse and generating 3'-hydroxy (3'-OH), which were then elongated under the assistance of TDT to produce poly (T) sequences. Finally, Copper (II) sulfate (Cu2+) and l-Ascorbic acid (AA) were added to form CuNPs using poly (T) sequences as templates (T-CuNPs), resulting in a strong fluorescence signal. This method exhibited good selectivity and high sensitivity with a detection limit of 8.6 × 10-5 U/mL. Moreover, the strategy has been successfully applied to the screening of UDG inhibitors and the detection of UDG activity in complex cell lysates, which means that it has promising applications in clinical diagnosis and biomedical research.

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales pose significant global health challenges due to their rapid spread and ability to hydrolyse various beta-lactam antibiotics. Rapid tests for these carbapenemase genes are crucial to ensure appropriate prescription administration and infection control. In this study, we developed a rapid visual nanodiagnostic platform for multiplexed detection of carbapenemase genes using a lateral flow strip. The nanodiagnostic strip was designed with separate barcoded DNA tetrahedrons for the blaKPC and blaNDM genes. These tetrahedrons were distributed on a nitrocellulose membrane at two different test lines as capture probes. When tested against a panel of carbapenemase genes, the tetrahedral probes captured single-stranded amplicons of asymmetric PCR via strand hybridisation. The amplicons acted as bridging elements, binding the DNA-modified gold nanoparticles to the test line of the strip, resulting in clear visual readouts specific to the blaKPC and blaNDM genes. By employing barcoded tetrahedrons and asymmetric PCR in conjunction with the lateral flow strip, a single diagnostic test enabled the detection of multiple carbapenemase genes. The test yielded results as low as 0.12 fM for blaKPC and 0.05 fM for blaNDM within 75 min. Furthermore, the strip effectively identified specific carbapenemase genes in clinical isolates using real-time PCR, antibody-based lateral flow systems for carbapenemase detection, and carbapenemase phenotype experiments. Thus, the strip develop has a high potential for testing blaKPC and blaNDM genes in practice.

Abstract
Enzymatic biofuel cells have become powerful tools in biosensing, which however generally suffer from the limited loading efficiency as well as low catalytic activity and poor stability of bioenzymes. Herein, the hierarchical porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are synthesized using tannic acid (TA) for structural etching, which realizes co-encapsulation of glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+ ) cofactor in zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-L) and are further used as the biocatalytic microreactors to modify bioanode. In this work, the TA-controlled etching can not only expand the pore size of microreactors, but also achieve the reorientation of enzymes in their lower surface energy form, therefore enhancing the biocatalysis of cofactor-dependent enzyme. Meanwhile, the topological DNA tetrahedron is assembled on the microreactors, which acts as the microRNA-responsive "lock" to perform the cascade signal amplification of exonuclease III-assisted target recycling on bioanode and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) on biocathode. The proposed self-powered biosensor has achieved a detection limit as low as 2 aM (6 copies miRNA-21 in a 5 µL of sample), which is further successfully applied to identify cancer cells and clinical serums of breast cancer patients based on the different levels of miRNA-21, holding great potential in accurate disease identification and clinical diagnosis.

The evolution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has posed an unprecedented demand for accurate and cost-effective diagnostic assays to discriminate between different variants. Whilst many bioassays have been successfully demonstrated for SARS-CoV-2 detection, diagnosis of its variants remains challenging and mainly relies on time-consuming and costly sequencing techniques. Herein, we proposed a triplevalent tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (tTDN) with three overhang isotope probes capable of multiplex simultaneous analysis. HV69/70 del (alpha-specific), K417N (beta-specific) and T478K (delta-specific) and omicron with common mutations above of the SARS-CoV-2 S gene were detected selectively with the aid of the TDN scaffold and MNAzyme system, and a sensitive strategy enabling the screening of four kinds of variants of concern (VOC) was achieved.

Abstract
A molecular classification of diseases that accurately reflects clinical behaviour lays the foundation of precision medicine. The development of in silico classifiers coupled with molecular implementation based on DNA reactions marks a key advance in more powerful molecular classification, but it nevertheless remains a challenge to process multiple molecular datatypes. Here we introduce a DNA-encoded molecular classifier that can physically implement the computational classification of multidimensional molecular clinical data. To produce unified electrochemical sensing signals across heterogeneous molecular binding events, we exploit DNA-framework-based programmable atom-like nanoparticles with n valence to develop valence-encoded signal reporters that enable linearity in translating virtually any biomolecular binding events to signal gains. Multidimensional molecular information in computational classification is thus precisely assigned weights for bioanalysis. We demonstrate the implementation of a molecular classifier based on programmable atom-like nanoparticles to perform biomarker panel screening and analyse a panel of six biomarkers across three-dimensional datatypes for a near-deterministic molecular taxonomy of prostate cancer patients.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of conserved small noncoding RNAs whose expression is associated with many diseases, including cancer. Salivary miRNAs are gaining popularity as noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers for cancer and other systemic disorders, but their use is limited by their low abundance and complicated detection procedure. Herein, we present a novel self-assembly approach based on rolling circle amplification (RCA) and graphene oxide (GO) for the ultrasensitive detection of miRNA21 and miRNA16 (miRNA oral cancer biomarkers in human saliva). First, target miRNA hybridizes with the RCA template. In the presence of DNA polymerase, the RCA reaction is induced and sequences matching the template are generated. Then, a nicking enzyme cuts the long ssDNA product into tiny pieces to obtain the amplified products. The DNA-decorated GO sensor was fabricated by preabsorbing the ssDNA fluorescence-labeled probe on the GO surface, resulting in fluorescence quenching. The DNA-decorated GO sensor could detect the amplified product via the self-assembly of dsDNA, leading to the desorption and recovery of the fluorescence-labeled probe. Under optimal conditions, the proposed system exhibited ultrasensitive detection; the detection limits of miRNA16 and miRNA21 were 8.81 and 3.85 fM, respectively. It showed a wide range of detection between 10 fM and 100 pM for miRNA16 and between 10 fM and 1 nM for miRNA16. It demonstrated high selectivity, distinguishing between 1- and 3-mismatch nucleotides in target miRNA. Overall, our proposed DNA-decorated GO sensor can accurately detect the salivary miRNAs and may potentially be used for the diagnosis and screening of early-stage oral cancer.

Abstract
Highly bio-compatible organic semiconductors are widely used as biosensors, but their long-term stability can be compromised due to photo-degradation and structural instability. To address this issue, scientists have developed organic semiconductor nanoparticles (OSNs) by incorporating organic semiconductors into a stable framework or self-assembled structure. OSNs have shown excellent performance and can be used as high-resolution biosensors in modern medical and biological research. They have been used for a wide range of applications, such as detecting small biological molecules, nucleic acids, and enzyme levels, as well as vascular imaging, tumor localization, and more. In particular, OSNs can simulate fine particulate matters (PM2.5, indicating particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 μm) and can be used to study the biodistribution, clearance pathways, and health effects of such particles. However, there are still some problems that need to be solved, such as toxicity, metabolic mechanism, and fluorescence intensity. In this review, based on the structure and design strategies of OSNs, we introduce various types of OSNs-based biosensors with functional groups used as biosensors and discuss their applications in both in vitro and in vivo tracking. Finally, we also discuss the design strategies and potential future trends of OSNs-based biosensors. This review provides a theoretical scaffold for the design of high-performance OSNs-based biosensors and highlights important trends and future directions for their development and application.

Abstract
Minimally invasive approaches for cancer diagnosis are an integral step in the quest to improve cancer survival. Liquid biopsies such as blood samples are matrices explored to extract valuable information about the tumor and its state through various indicators, such as proteins, peptides, tumor DNA, or circulating tumor cells. Although these markers are scarce, making their isolation and detection in complex matrices challenging, the development in polymer chemistry producing interesting structures, including molecularly imprinted polymers, branched polymers, nanopolymer composites, and hybrids, allowed the development of enhanced platforms with impressive performance for liquid biopsies analysis. This review describes the latest advances and developments in polymer synthesis and their application for minimally invasive cancer diagnosis. The polymer structures improve the operational performances of biosensors through various processes, such as increased affinity for enhanced sensitivity, improved binding, and avoidance of non-specific interactions for enhanced specificity. Furthermore, polymer-based materials can be a tremendous help in signal amplification of usually low-concentrated targets in the sample. The pros and cons of these materials, how the synthesis process affects their performance, and the device applications for liquid biopsies diagnosis will be critically reviewed to show the essentiality of this technology in oncology and clinical biomedicine.

Abstract
The potential for using DNA nanostructures for drug delivery applications requires understanding and ideally tuning their biostability. Here we investigate how biological degradation varies with size of a DNA nanostructure. We designed DNA tetrahedra of three edge lengths ranging from 13 to 20 bp and analyzed nuclease resistance for two nucleases and biostability in fetal bovine serum. We found that DNase I had similar digestion rates across sizes but appeared to incompletely digest the smallest tetrahedron, while T5 exonuclease was notably slower to digest the largest tetrahedron. In fetal bovine serum, the 20 bp tetrahedron was degraded ~four times faster than the 13 bp. These results show that DNA nanostructure size can influence nuclease degradation, but suggest a complex relationship that is nuclease specific.

Abstract
Compartmentalization is the strategy evolved by nature to control reactions in space and time. The ability to emulate this strategy through synthetic compartmentalization systems has rapidly evolved in the past years, accompanied by an increasing understanding of the effects of spatial confinement on the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the guest molecules. DNA nanotechnology has played a pivotal role in this scientific endeavor and is still one of the most promising approaches for the construction of nanocompartments with programmable structural features and nanometer-scaled addressability. In this review, the design approaches, bioapplications, and theoretical frameworks of self-assembled DNA nanocompartments are surveyed. From DNA polyhedral cages to virus-like capsules, the construction principles of such intriguing architectures are illustrated. Various applications of DNA nanocompartments, including their use for programmable enzyme scaffolding, single-molecule studies, biosensing, and as artificial nanofactories, ending with an ample description of DNA nanocages for biomedical purposes, are then reported. Finally, the theoretical hypotheses that make DNA nanocompartments, and nanosystems in general, a topic of great interest in modern science, are described and the progresses that have been done until now in the comprehension of the peculiar phenomena that occur within nanosized environments are summarized.

Ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical biosensor for DNA 5-methylcytosine analysis based on co-sensitization strategy combined with bridged DNA nanoprobe. Talanta 2023; 254:124140.

Abstract
Altered DNA methylation in the form of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) patterns is correlated with disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response. Therefore, accurate analysis of 5-mC is of great significance for the diagnosis of diseases. Here, an efficient enhanced photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was designed for the quantitative analysis of DNA 5-mC based on a cascaded energy level aligned co-sensitization strategy coupling with the bridged DNA nanoprobe (BDN). Firstly, Au nanoparticle/graphite phase carbon nitride/titanium dioxide (AuNPs/g-C3N4@TiO2) nanocomposite was synthesized through in situ growth of AuNPs on g-C3N4@TiO2 surface as a matrix to provide a stable background signal. Next, BDN with a high mass transfer rate synthesized from a pair of DNA tetrahedral as nanomechanical handles was used as a capture probe to bind to the target sequence. The polydopamine nanosphere was applied to load with CdTe QDs (PDANS-CdTe QDs) as a photocurrent label of 5-mC antibodies. When the 5-mC existed, a large number of PDANS-Ab-CdTe QDs were introduced to the electrode surface, the formed CdTe QDs/AuNPs/g-C3N4@TiO2 co-sensitive structure could effectively enhance the electron transfer capability and photocurrent response rate due to the effective cascade energy level arrangement, leading to a significantly enhanced photocurrent signal. The proposed PEC biosensor manifested a wide range from 10-17 M to 10-7 M and a detection limit of 2.2 aM. Meanwhile, the excellent performance indicated the practicability of the designed strategy, thus being capable of the clinical diagnosis of 5-mC.

Abstract
Cancer is a genetic disease induced by mutations in DNA, in particular point mutations in important driver genes that lead to protein malfunctioning and ultimately to tumorigenesis. Screening for the most common DNA point mutations, especially in such genes as TP53, BRCA1 and BRCA2, EGFR, KRAS, or BRAF, is crucial to determine predisposition risk for cancer or to predict response to therapy. In this review, we briefly depict how these genes are involved in cancer, followed by a description of the most common techniques routinely applied for their analysis, including high-throughput next-generation sequencing technology and less expensive low-throughput options, such as real-time PCR, restriction fragment length polymorphism, or high resolution melting analysis. We then introduce benefits of electrochemical biosensors as interesting alternatives to the standard methods in terms of cost, speed, and simplicity. We describe most common strategies involved in electrochemical biosensing of point mutations, relying mostly on PCR or isothermal amplification techniques, and critically discuss major challenges and obstacles that, until now, prevented their more widespread application in clinical settings.

Abstract
This work conveys a new philosophy of surface self-coordination mediated trap remediation for innovative cathodic photoelectrochemical (PEC) signal transduction. Initially, the surface trap states of CuBi2O4 nanopolyhedra resulting from dangling bonds can function as charge carrier recombination centers, which suppress the carrier separation efficiency and result in a low photocurrent output. Particularly, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) spontaneously interacts with the uncoordinated Cu(II) on the surface of CuBi2O4, enabling efficient elimination of dangling bonds and remedy of trap states, thereby outputting intensified photocurrent readout. Exemplified by Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) as a model target, a tetrahedron DNA (THD)-based strand displacement amplification (SDA) was introduced to manipulate the formation of hemin impregnated G-quadruplex (G-quadruplex/hemin) DNAzyme and the resultant catalytic reduction for H2O2. In addition, a highly efficient and ultra-sensitive PEC sensing platform was achieved for FEN1 detection with a wide linear range from 1.0 fM to 100.0 pM and a detection limit of 0.3 fM (S/N = 3). This work not only establishes a new idea of cathodic PEC signal transduction, but also offers an efficient biosensing platform for FEN1.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and influenza A are two respiratory infectious diseases with similar clinical manifestations. Because of the complex global epidemic situation of COVID-19, the distinction and diagnosis of COVID-19 and influenza A infected persons is crucial for epidemic prevention and control. In this study, tetrahedral DNA framework (TDF) was combined with a rotational paper-based analytical device, and the color change generated by the reaction between horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and 3,3'5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-H2O2 was used for grayscale signal analysis by ImageJ software. The quantitative detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza A H1N1 virus were realized simultaneously. Under the optimal conditions, the paper-based analytical device showed a good linear relationship between the two viruses in the range of 10-14-10-8g/mL, and the two viruses were not affected by cross reaction. This sensor provides a convenient and reliable method for clinical rapid differentiation and diagnosis of COVID-19 and influenza A.

Abstract
An active targeting strategy-enabled DNA tetrahedron delivery vehicle could facilitate stable drug encapsulation and stimuli-responsive on-demand release, building a universal platform for different drug delivery requirements. Owing to the excellent biocompatible nature, programmability and remarkable cell and tissue permeability, the tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (TDN) has proven its value in the delivery of various bioactive molecules. We previously described this as a static multifunctional complex in our earlier protocol. However, static structures and passive targeting behavior might introduce off-target effects under complicated biological conditions. Therefore, in this Protocol Extension, we present a major update of the TDN delivery vehicle enabling an active targeting strategy to be used for stimuli-sensitive conformation changes and on-site cargo release, which could avoid drawbacks, including complex and time-consuming fabrication processes and undetermined cell penetration ability of other DNA-based delivery vehicles. Upon exquisite design of TDN size based on cargo type, one-pot annealing is applied to fabricate the Tiamat-designed TDN exoskeleton. Then the design of the dynamic DNA apparatus can be based on the target and environmental stimuli, including DNA strand hybridization-based and pH-sensitive DNA apparatus, and careful titration of strand lengths and mismatches is achieved using polyacrylamide and agarose gel electrophoresis, or fluorophore modifications. Finally, cargo loading strategies are designed, including site and stand titration and cargo encapsulation verification. The dynamic structures show promising targetability and effectiveness in antitumor and anti-inflammatory treatment in vitro and in vivo. Assembly and characterization in the lab takes ~5 d, and the timing for the verification of biostability and biological applications depends on the uses.

Abstract
Multiplexed profiling of microRNAs' subcellular expression and distribution is essential to understand their spatiotemporal function information, but it remains a crucial challenge. Herein, we report an encoding approach that leverages combinational fluorescent dye barcodes, organelle targeting elements, and an independent quantification signal, termed Multiplexed Organelles Portrait Barcodes (MOPB), for high-throughput profiling of miRNAs from organelles. The MOPB barcodes consist of heterochromatic fluorescent dye-loaded shell-core mesoporous silica nanoparticles modified with organelle targeting peptides and molecular beacon detection probes. Using mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum as models, we encoded four Cy3/AMCA ER-MOPB and four Cy5/AMCA Mito-MOPB by varying the Cy3 and Cy5 intensity for distinguishing eight organelles' miRNAs. Significantly, the MOPB strategy successfully and accurately profiled eight subcellular organelle miRNAs' alterations in the drug-induced Ca2+ homeostasis breakdown. The approach should allow more widespread application of subcellular miRNAs and multiplexed subcellular protein biomarkers' monitoring for drug discovery, cellular metabolism, signaling transduction, and gene expression regulation readout.

Abstract
Background As the most common subtype in lung cancer, the precise and efficient treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains an outstanding challenge owing to early metastasis and poor prognosis. Chemotherapy, the most commonly used treatment modality, is a difficult choice for many cancer patients due to insufficient drug accumulation in tumor sites and severe systemic side-effects. In this study, we constructed a cell-specific aptamer-modified DNA nanostructure (Apt-NS) as a targeting drug delivery system achieving the precision therapy for lung cancer. Methods The synthesis of DNA nanostructure and its stability were evaluated using gel electrophoresis. The targeting properties and internalization mechanism were investigated via flow cytometry and confocal analyses. Drug loading, release, and targeted drug delivery were determined by fluorescence detection, Zeta potentials assay, and confocal imaging. CCK8 assays, colony formation, cell apoptosis, metastasis analyses and in vivo experiments were conducted to assess the biological functions of DNA nanostructure. Results Self-assembled DNA nanoparticles (Apt-NS) had excellent stability to serum and DNase I and the ability to specifically recognize A549 cells. Upon specific binding, the drug-loaded nanoparticles (Apt-NS-DOX) were internalized into target cells by clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Subsequently, DOX could be released from Apt-NS-DOX based on the degradation of the lysosome. Apt-NS-DOX exerted significant suppression of cell proliferation, invasion and migration, and also enhanced cell apoptosis due to the excellent performance of drug delivery and intracellular release, while maintaining a superior biosafety. In addition, the antitumor effects of Apt-NS-DOX were further confirmed using in vivo models. Conclusions Our study provided cell-specific aptamer-modified DNA nanostructures as a drug-delivery system targeting A549 cells, which could precisely and efficiently transport chemotherapeutic drug into tumor cells, exerting enhanced antineoplastic efficacy. These findings highlight that DNA nanostructure serving as an ideal drug delivery system in cancer treatment appears great promise in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Self-assembled DNA nanostructures hold great potentials in biomedical applications. Nevertheless, the negatively charged DNA backbone and susceptivity to enzyme degradation pose challenges to this regard. Engineering the surface properties of DNA nanostructures by assembling DNA with guest molecules in magnesium-free system is promising to solve these issues. In this study, the polyamines-mediated DNA self-assembly with an emphasis on the valency of polyamines is investigated. Both spermine, spermidine, and putrescine can assemble DNA tetrahedron under appropriate concentrations. The cytotoxicity and cellular uptake efficiencies vary with the polyamine valency. Compared with magnesium-assembled DNA tetrahedron, polyamine-assembled DNA tetrahedron exhibits higher cellular uptake efficiency and serum stability. Circular dichroism spectrum results indicate that polyamines induce DNA conformation slightly shifting from B form to A form. The improved performances of polyamine-assembled DNA tetrahedrons under physiological settings are attributed to the surface properties that altered by guest molecules polyamine. The current study suggests that engineering the surface properties of DNA nanostructures by assembling them with guest cationic species is promising to further their biomedical applications.

Abstract
In this work, we report a fast, portable, and economical microfluidic platform for the simultaneous detection of nucleic acid and proteins. Using SARS-CoV-2 as a target, this microfluidic chip enabled to simultaneously detect the SARS-CoV-2 RNA (N gene) antigen (or specific IgG antibody) with respective detection limits of 1 copy/μL for nucleic acid, 0.85 ng/mL for antigen, and 5.80 ng/mL for IgG within 30 min with high stability and anti-interference ability. The capability of this system in clinical applications was further evaluated using clinical samples, displaying 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity for COVID-19 diagnosis. These findings demonstrate the potential of this method to be used for the detection and subsequent control of pathogens.

Abstract
With the emergence of DNA nanotechnology in the 1980s, self-assembled DNA nanostructures have attracted considerable attention worldwide due to their inherent biocompatibility, unsurpassed programmability, and versatile functions. Especially promising nanostructures are tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs), first proposed by Turberfield with the use of a one-step annealing approach. Benefiting from their various merits, such as simple synthesis, high reproducibility, structural stability, cellular internalization, tissue permeability, and editable functionality, tFNAs have been widely applied in the biomedical field as three-dimensional DNA nanomaterials. Surprisingly, tFNAs exhibit positive effects on cellular biological behaviors and tissue regeneration, which may be used to treat inflammatory and degenerative diseases. According to their intended application and carrying capacity, tFNAs could carry functional nucleic acids or therapeutic molecules through extended sequences, sticky-end hybridization, intercalation, and encapsulation based on the Watson and Crick principle. Additionally, dynamic tFNAs also have potential applications in controlled and targeted therapies. This review summarized the latest progress in pure/modified/dynamic tFNAs and demonstrated their regenerative medicine applications. These applications include promoting the regeneration of the bone, cartilage, nerve, skin, vasculature, or muscle and treating diseases such as bone defects, neurological disorders, joint-related inflammatory diseases, periodontitis, and immune diseases.
