Abstract
Programmed DNA structures and assemblies are readily accessible, but site-specific functionalization is critical to realize applications in various fields such as nanoelectronics, nanomaterials and biomedicine. Besides pre- and post-DNA synthesis conjugation strategies, on-solid support reactions offer advantages in certain circumstances. We describe on-solid support internucleotide coupling reactions, often considered undesirable, and a workaround strategy to overcome them. Palladium coupling reactions enabled on-solid support intra- and interstrand coupling between single-stranded DNAs (ss-DNAs). Dilution with a capping agent suppressed interstrand coupling, maximizing intrastrand coupling. Alternatively, interstrand coupling actually proved advantageous to provide dimeric organic/DNA conjugates that could be conveniently separated from higher oligomers, and was more favorable with longer terphenyl coupling partners.

Abstract
A CHA-based fluorescent DNA tetrahedral probe (FDTp) has been designed to detect the microRNAs miR-21 and miR-155 sensitively and specifically in living cells. The design consisted of functional elements (H1, H2, and Protector) connected to a DNA tetrahedron modified with two pairs of fluorophores and quenching groups. In the presence of miR-21, the chain displacement effect was triggered and Cy3 fluorescence was emitted. In the presence of miR-155, the signal of the catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) between H1 and H2 on FDTp was amplified, making the fluorescence of FAM sensitive to miR-155. Using this method, the detection limit for miR-155 was 5 pM. The FDTp successfully imaged miR-21 and miR-155 in living cells and distinguished a variety of cell lines based on their expression levels of miR-21 and miR-155. The detection and imaging of dual targets in this design ensured the accuracy of tumor diagnosis and provided a new method for early tumor diagnosis.

Abstract
Capturing the full complexity of the diverse hierarchical interactions in the protein interactome is challenging. Here we report a DNA-barcoding method for the multiplexed mapping of pairwise and higher-order protein interactions and their dynamics within cells. The method leverages antibodies conjugated with barcoded DNA strands that can bidirectionally hybridize and covalently link to linearize closely spaced interactions within individual 3D protein complexes, encoding and decoding the protein constituents and the interactions among them. By mapping protein interactions in cancer cells and normal cells, we found that tumour cells exhibit a larger diversity and abundance of protein complexes with higher-order interactions. In biopsies of human breast-cancer tissue, the method accurately identified the cancer subtype and revealed that higher-order protein interactions are associated with cancer aggressiveness.

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. This Perspective highlights the concept and development of precisely assembled ATFNAs, and outlines the new frontiers and opportunities for exploiting the structural advantages of ATFNAs for biological applications.

Abstract
The photoluminescent properties of atomically precise metal nanoclusters (MCs) have garnered significant attention in the fields of chemical sensing and biological imaging. However, the limited brightness of single-component nanoclusters hinders their practical applications, and the conventional ligand engineering approaches have proven insufficient in enhancing the emission efficiency of MCs. Here, we present a DNA framework-guided strategy to prepare highly luminescent metal cluster nanoaggregates. Our approach involves an amphiphilic DNA framework comprising a hydrophobic alkyl core and a rigid DNA framework shell, serving as a nucleation site and providing well-defined nanoconfinements for the self-limiting aggregation of MCs. Through this method, we successfully produced homogeneous MC nanoaggregates (10.1 ± 1.2 nm) with remarkable nanoscale precision. Notably, this strategy proves adaptable to various MCs, leading to a substantial enhancement in emission and quantum yield, up to 3011- and 87-fold, respectively. Furthermore, our investigation using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy at the single-particle level uncovered a more uniform photon number distribution and higher photostability for MC nanoaggregates compared to template-free counterparts. This DNA-templating strategy introduces a conceptually innovative approach for studying the photoluminescent properties of aggregates with nanoscale precision and holds promise for constructing highly luminescent MC nanoparticles for diverse applications.

Abstract
Herein, we report a DNA origami plasmonic nanoantenna for the programmable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of cytokine release syndrome (CRS)-associated cytokines (e.g., tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ)) in cancer immunotherapy. Typically, the nanoantenna was made of self-assembled DNA origami nanotubes (diameter: ∼19 nm; length: ∼90 nm) attached to a silver nanoparticle-modified silicon wafer (AgNP/Si). Each DNA origami nanotube contains one miniature gold nanorod (AuNR) inside (e.g., length: ∼35 nm; width: ∼7 nm). Intriguingly, TNF-α and IFN-γ logically regulate the opening of the nanotubes and the dissociation of the AuNRs from the origami structure upon binding to their corresponding aptamers. On this basis, we constructed a complete set of Boolean logic gates that read cytokine molecules as inputs and return changes in Raman signals as outputs. Significantly, we demonstrated that the presented system enables the quantification of TNF-α and IFN-γ in the serum of tumor-bearing mice receiving different types of immunotherapies (e.g., PD1/PD-L1 complex inhibitors and STING agonists). The sensing results are consistent with those of the ELISA. This strategy fills a gap in the use of DNA origami for the detection of multiple cytokines in real systems.

Abstract
Cell membrane-based nanovesicles (CMNVs) play pivotal roles in biomolecular transportation in living organisms and appear as attractive bioinformed nanomaterials for theranostic applications. However, the current surface-engineering technologies are limited in flexibility and orthogonality, making it challenging to simultaneously display multiple different ligands on the CMNV surface in a precisely controlled manner. Here, we developed a DNA scaffold-programmed approach to orthogonally engineer CMNVs with versatile ligands. The designed DNA scaffolds can rapidly anchor onto the CMNV surface, and their unique sequences and hybridized properties enable independent control of the loading of multiple different types of biomolecules on the CMNVs. As a result, the orthogonal engineering of CMNVs with a renal targeted peptide and a therapeutic protein at controlled ratios demonstrated an enhanced renal targeting and repair potential in vivo. This study highlights that a DNA scaffold-programmed platform can provide a potent means for orthogonal and flexible surface engineering of CMNVs for diverse therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
The finite periodic arrangement of functional nanomaterials on the two-dimensional scale enables the integration and enhancement of individual properties, making them an important research topic in the field of tuneable nanodevices. Although layer-controllable lattices such as graphene have been successfully synthesized, achieving similar control over colloidal nanoparticles remains a challenge. DNA origami technology has achieved remarkable breakthroughs in programmed nanoparticle assembly. Based on this technology, we proposed a hierarchical assembly strategy to construct a universal DNA origami platform with customized layer properties, which we called 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) DNA origami crystals. Methodologically, this strategy divides the assembly procedure into two steps: 1) array synthesis, and 2) lattice synthesis, which means that the layer properties, including layer number, interlayer distance, and surface morphology, can be flexibly customized based on the independent designs in each step. In practice, these synthesized 2.5D crystals not only pioneer the expansion of the DNA origami crystal library to a wider range of dimensions, but also highlight the technological potential for templating 2.5D colloidal nanomaterial lattices.

Abstract
The combination of DNA nanotechnology and Nano Gold (NG) plasmon has opened exciting possibilities for a new generation of functional plasmonic systems that exhibit tailored optical properties and find utility in various applications. In this review, the booming development of dynamic gold nanostructures are summarized, which are formed by DNA self-assembly using DNA-modified NG, DNA frameworks, and various driving forces. The utilization of bottom-up strategies enables precise control over the assembly of reversible and dynamic aggregations, nano-switcher structures, and robotic nanomachines capable of undergoing on-demand, reversible structural changes that profoundly impact their properties. Benefiting from the vast design possibilities, complete addressability, and sub-10 nm resolution, DNA duplexes, tiles, single-stranded tiles and origami structures serve as excellent platforms for constructing diverse 3D reconfigurable plasmonic nanostructures with tailored optical properties. Leveraging the responsive nature of DNA interactions, the fabrication of dynamic assemblies of NG becomes readily achievable, and environmental stimulation can be harnessed as a driving force for the nanomotors. It is envisioned that intelligent DNA-assembled NG nanodevices will assume increasingly important roles in the realms of biological, biomedical, and nanomechanical studies, opening a new avenue toward exploration and innovation.

Abstract
While conventional mechanics of materials offers a passive understanding of the mechanical properties of materials in existing forms, a paradigm shift, referred to as mechanomaterials, is emerging to enable the proactive programming of materials' properties and functionalities by leveraging force-geometry-property relationships. One of the foundations of this new paradigm is nanomechanics, which permits functional and structural materials to be designed based on principles from the nanoscale and beyond. Although the field of mechanomaterials is still in its infancy at the present time, we discuss the current progress in three specific directions closely linked to nanomechanics and provide perspectives on these research foci by considering the potential research directions, chances for success, and existing research capabilities. We believe this new research paradigm will provide future materials solutions for infrastructure, healthcare, energy, and environment.

Abstract
Nature has exhibited a high degree of control over the structures and functions. Supramolecules have been utilized to mimic the subtle assembly in nature. However, sophisticated synthesis of molecular skeletons or programmable design of the driving forces raises great challenges in fabricating high-level superstructures in a controlled manner. Natural polyphenols show great promises as building blocks for a diverse of assemblies with controlled structures and functionalities. The intrinsically embedded phenolic groups (i. e., catechol and galloyl groups) are readily forming multiple molecular interactions, including coordination, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interactions with various materials of inorganic particles, organic compounds, synthetic polymers, and biomacromolecules, providing the self-assembled structures or nanocoating on surfaces. Subsequent assembly occurred by further bonding of polyphenols to construct supraparticles. To gain control over the self-assembly, the key lies in the interplay among the molecular interactions with one or two being dominant. In this Perspective, we introduce the representative polyphenol-based assemblies and their derived supraparticles to exhibit the effective harness of the controlled self-assembly by polyphenols.

Abstract
Natural nano-minerals (NNMs) are minerals that are derived from nature with a size of less than 100 nm in at least one dimension in size. NNMs have a number of excellent properties due to their unique nanostructure and have been applied in various fields in recent years. They are rising stars in various disciplines, such as materials, biomedicine, and chemistry, taking advantage of their huge surface area, multiple active sites, excellent adsorption capacity, large quantity, low cost, and nontoxicity, etc. To provide a more comprehensive overview of NNMs and the biomedical applications of NNMs-based nanocomposites, this review classifies NNMs into three types by dimension, lists the structure and properties of typical NNMs, and illustrates their biomedical applications. Furthermore, a novel concept of natural nanomineral medical materials (NNMMs) is proposed, focusing on the medical value of NNMs. In addition, this review attempts to address the current challenges and delineate future directions for the advancement of NNMs. With the deepening of biomedical applications, it is believed that NNMMMs will inevitably play an important role in the field of human health and contribute to its promotion.

Abstract
High-fidelity patterning of DNA origami nanostructures on various interfaces holds great potential for nanoelectronics and nanophotonics. However, distortion of a DNA origami often occurs due to the strong interface interactions, e.g., on two-dimensional (2D) materials. In this study, we discovered that the adsorption of silica precursors in rapid silicification can prevent the distortion caused by graphene and generates a high shape-fidelity DNA origami-silica composite on a graphene interface. We found that an incubation time of 1 min and silicification time of 16 h resulted in the formation of DNA origami-silica composites with the highest shape fidelity of 99%. By comparing the distortion of the DNA origami on the graphene interface with and without silicification, we observed that rapid silicification effectively preserved the integrity of the DNA origami. Statistical analysis of scanning electron microscopy data indicates that compared to bare DNA origami, the DNA origami-silica composite has an increased shape fidelity by more than two folds. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations revealed that rapid silicification effectively suppresses the distortion of the DNA origami through the interhelical insertion of silica precursors. Our strategy provides a simple yet effective solution to maintain the shape-fidelity DNA origami on interfaces that have strong interaction with DNA molecules, expanding the applicable interfaces for patterning 2D DNA origamis.

Abstract
DNA monolayers with inherent chirality play a pivotal role across various domains including biosensors, DNA chips, and bioelectronics. Nonetheless, conventional DNA chiral monolayers, typically constructed from single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), often lack structural orderliness and design flexibility at the interface. Structural DNA nanotechnology has emerged as a promising solution to tackle these challenges. In this study, we present a strategy for crafting highly adaptable twisted DNA origami-based chiral monolayers. These structures exhibit distinct interfacial assembly characteristics and effectively mitigate the structural disorder of dsDNA monolayers, which is constrained by a limited persistence length of ∼50 nm of dsDNA. We highlight the spin-filtering capabilities of seven representative DNA origami-based chiral monolayers, demonstrating a maximal one-order-of-magnitude increase in spin-filtering efficiency per unit area compared with conventional dsDNA chiral monolayers. Intriguingly, our findings reveal that the higher-order tertiary chiral structure of twisted DNA origami further enhances the spin-filtering efficiency. This work paves the way for the rational design of DNA chiral monolayers.

Abstract
Chirality, as one of the most striking characteristics, exists at various scales in nature. Originating from the interactions of host and guest molecules, supramolecular chirality possesses huge potential in the design of functional materials. Here, an overview of the recent progress in structure designs and functions of chiral supramolecular materials is present. First, three design routes of the chiral supramolecular structure are summarized. Compared with the template-induced and chemical synthesis strategies that depend on accurate molecular identification, the twisted-assembly technique creates chiral materials through the ordered stacking of the nanowire or films. Next, chirality inversion and amplification are reviewed to explain the chirality transfer from the molecular level to the macroscopic scale, where the available external stimuli on the chirality inversion are also given. Lastly, owing to the optical activity and the characteristics of the layer-by-layer stacking structure, the supramolecular chirality materials display various excellent performances, including smart response, shape-memorization, superior mechanical performance, and applications in biomedical fields. To sum up, this work provides a systematic review of the helical assemblies, structure design, and applications of supramolecular chirality systems.

Abstract
The highly programmable and responsive molecular recognition properties of DNA provide unparalleled opportunities for fabricating dynamic nanostructures capable of structural transformation in response to various external stimuli. However, they typically operate in tightly controlled environments because certain conditions (ionic strength, pH, temperature, etc.) must be met for DNA duplex formation. In this study, we adopted site-specific enzymatic ligation and DNA-based layer-by-layer thin film fabrication to build shape-morphing DNA-linked nanoparticle films operational in a broad range of environments. The ligated films remained intact in unusual conditions such as pure water and high temperature causing dissociation of DNA duplexes and showed predictable and reversible shape morphing in response to various environmental changes and DNA exchange reactions. Furthermore, domain-selective ligation combined with photoinduced interlayer mixing allowed for the fabrication of unusual edge-sealed double-layered films through midlayer etching, which is difficult to realize by other methods.

Abstract
DNA origami is a powerful tool to fold 3-dimensional DNA structures with nanometer precision. Its usage, however, is limited as high ionic strength, temperatures below ∼60 °C, and pH values between 5 and 10 are required to ensure the structural integrity of DNA origami nanostructures. Here, we demonstrate a simple and effective method to stabilize DNA origami nanostructures against harsh buffer conditions using [PdCl4]2-. It provided the stabilization of different DNA origami nanostructures against mechanical compression, temperatures up to 100 °C, double-distilled water, and pH values between 4 and 12. Additionally, DNA origami superstructures and bound cargos are stabilized with yields of up to 98%. To demonstrate the general applicability of our approach, we employed our protocol with a Pd metallization procedure at elevated temperatures. In the future, we think that our method opens up new possibilities for applications of DNA origami nanostructures beyond their usual reaction conditions.

Abstract
Nanostructures with controlled shapes are of particular interest due to their consistent physical and chemical properties and their potential for assembly into complex superstructures. The use of supporting struts has proven to be effective in the construction of precise DNA polyhedra. However, the influence of struts on the structure of DNA origami frameworks on the nanoscale remains unclear. In this study, we developed a flexible square DNA origami (SDO) framework and enhanced its structural stability by incorporating interarm supporting struts (SDO-s). Comparing the framework with and without such struts, we found that SDO-s demonstrated a significantly improved resistance to deformation. We assessed the deformability of these two DNA origami structures through the statistical analysis of interior angles of polygons based on atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy data. Our results showed that SDO-s exhibited more centralized interior angle distributions compared to SDO, reducing from 30-150° to 60-120°. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations indicated that supporting struts significantly decreased the thermodynamic fluctuations of the SDO-s, as described by the root-mean-square fluctuation parameter. Finally, we experimentally demonstrated that the 2D arrays assembled from SDO-s exhibited significantly higher quality than those assembled from SDO. These quantitative analyses provide an understanding of how supporting struts can enhance the structural integrity of DNA origami frameworks.

Abstract
DNA origami, comprising a long folded DNA scaffold and hundreds of linear DNA staple strands, has been developed to construct various sophisticated structures, smart devices, and drug delivery systems. However, the size and diversity of DNA origami are usually constrained by the length of DNA scaffolds themselves. Herein, we report a new paradigm of scaling up DNA origami assembly by introducing a novel branched staple concept. Owing to their covalent characteristics, the chemically conjugated branched DNA staples we describe here can be directly added to a typical DNA origami assembly system to obtain super-DNA origami with a predefined number of origami tiles in one pot. Compared with the traditional two-step coassembly system (yields <10%), a much greater yield (>80%) was achieved using this one-pot strategy. The diverse superhybrid DNA origami with the combination of different origami tiles can be also efficiently obtained by the hybrid branched staples. Furthermore, the branched staples can be successfully employed as the effective molecular glues to stabilize micrometer-scale, super-DNA origami arrays (e.g., 10 × 10 array of square origami) in high yields, paving the way to bridge the nanoscale precision of DNA origami with the micrometer-scale device engineering. This rationally developed assembly strategy for super-DNA origami based on chemically conjugated branched staples presents a new avenue for the development of multifunctional DNA origami-based materials.

Abstract
Herein, a flexible near-infrared (NIR) light-actuated photoelectrochemical (PEC) lab-on-paper device was constructed toward miRNA-122 detection, utilizing the combination of DNA-programmed NaYF4/Yb,Tm upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and the Z-scheme AgI/WO3 heterojunction grown in situ on gold nanoparticle-decorated 3D cellulose fibers. The UCNPs were employed as light transducers for converting NIR light into ultraviolet/visible (UV/vis) light to excite the nanojunction. The multiple diffraction of NaYF4/Yb,Tm matched the absorption band of the Z-scheme AgI/WO3 heterojunction, resulting in enhanced PEC photocurrent output. This prepared Z-scheme heterojunction effectively directed charge migration and highly facilitated the electron-hole pair separation. Target miRNA-122 activated the nonenzyme catalytic hairpin assembly signal amplification strategy, generating duplexes which caused the exfoliation of NaYF4/Yb,Tm UCNPs from the biosensor electrode and lowered the photocurrent under 980 nm irradiation. Under optimized circumstances, the proposed NIR-actuated PEC lab-on-paper device presented accurate miRNA-122 detection within a wide linear range of 10 fM-100 nM with a low limit of detection of 2.32 fM, providing a reliable strategy in the exploration of NIR-actuated PEC biosensors for low-cost, high-performance bioassay in clinical applications.

Abstract
Nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA, have been considered as powerful and functional biomaterials owing to their programmable structure, good biocompatibility, and ease of synthesis.

In recent years, DNA nanotechnology has shown great promise for the applications of bioimaging and drug delivery. The attractive superiorities of DNA nanostructures, such as precise geometries, spatial addressability, and improved biostability, have enabled them to be a novel category of nucleic acid delivery systems for biomedical applications. In this review, we introduce the development of DNA nanotechnology, and highlight recent advances of DNA nanostructure-based delivery systems for cellular imaging and therapeutic applications. Finally, we propose the challenges as well as opportunities for the future development of DNA nanotechnology in biomedical research.

Abstract
Controlling the three-dimensional (3D) nanoarchitecture of inorganic materials is imperative for enabling their novel mechanical, optical, and electronic properties. Here, by exploiting DNA-programmable assembly, we establish a general approach for realizing designed 3D ordered inorganic frameworks. Through inorganic templating of DNA frameworks by liquid- and vapor-phase infiltrations, we demonstrate successful nanofabrication of diverse classes of inorganic frameworks from metal, metal oxide and semiconductor materials, as well as their combinations, including zinc, aluminum, copper, molybdenum, tungsten, indium, tin, and platinum, and composites such as aluminum-doped zinc oxide, indium tin oxide, and platinum/aluminum-doped zinc oxide. The open 3D frameworks have features on the order of nanometers with architecture prescribed by the DNA frames and self-assembled lattice. Structural and spectroscopic studies reveal the composition and organization of diverse inorganic frameworks, as well as the optoelectronic properties of selected materials. The work paves the road toward establishing a 3D nanoscale lithography.

Abstract
DNA origami has been used as biotemplates for growing a range of inorganic materials to create novel organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials. Recently, the solution-based silicification of DNA has been used to grow thin silica shells on DNA origami. However, the silicification reaction is sensitive to the reaction conditions and often results in uncontrolled DNA origami aggregation, especially when growth of thicker silica layers is desired. Here, we investigated how site-specifically placed polynucleotide brushes influence the silicification of DNA origami. Our experiments showed that long DNA brushes, in the form of single- or double-stranded DNA, significantly suppress the aggregation of DNA origami during the silicification process. Furthermore, we found that double-stranded DNA brushes selectively promote silica growth on DNA origami surfaces. These observations were supported and explained by coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. This work provides new insights into our understanding of the silicification process on DNA and provides a powerful toolset for the development of novel DNA-based organic-inorganic nanomaterials.

Abstract
We have reported the synthesis of epitope-imprinted mesoporous silica (EIMS) with an average pore size of 6.2 nm, which is similar to the geometrical size of the target protein, cytochrome C (Cyt c, 2.6 × 3.2 × 3.3 nm3), showing great recognition and large-scale adsorption performance. The characteristic fragment of Cyt c was used as a template and docked onto the surface of C16MIMCl micelles via multiple interactions. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption and transmission electron microscopy confirmed the successful preparation of EIMS. Due to the ordered pore structure, larger pore size, and high specific surface area, the prepared EIMS show superior specificity (IF = 3.8), excellent selectivity toward Cyt c, high adsorption capacity (249.6 mg g-1), and fast adsorption equilibrium (10 min). This study demonstrates the potential application of EIMS with a controllable pore size for high-effective and large-scale separation of Cyt c, providing a new approach for effective biomacromolecular recognition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer bone metastasis is closely associated with the bone microenvironment. Zuogui Pill (ZGP), a clinically approved formulation in China, effectively regulates the bone microenvironment for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. PURPOSE Few reports have utilized the ZGP for bone metastasis models. This study investigated the intervention and bone-protective properties of ZGP against breast cancer bone metastasis, explored the potential mechanism, and screened for its active compositions by molecules fishing. METHODS To investigate the intervention efficacy of ZGP and its protein-level mechanism of action, the mouse bone metastasis model and in vitro cell co-culture model were constructed. Affinity ultrafiltration, molecular docking, cellular thermal shift assay and physical scale detection were used to investigate the affinity components of the RANKL protein in ZGP. RESULTS The administration of ZGP combined with zoledronic acid inhibited the development of tumors and secondary lung metastasis in mice. This translated to a prolonged survival period and enhanced quality of life. ZGP could disrupt the malignant cycle by modulating the Piezo1-Notch-1-GPX4 signaling pathway in the "bone-cancer" communication in the cell co-culture model. Furthermore, 25 chemical components of ZGP were identified, with 10 active compounds exhibiting significant affinity for the RANKL protein. CONCLUSION The findings of this work highlighted ZGP's potential for intervening in the progression of breast cancer bone metastasis. Thus, this investigation served as an experimental foundation for expanding the application scope of ZGP and for advancing drug development efforts in bone metastasis treatment.

Abstract
There have been limited efforts to ligate the staple nicks in DNA origami which is crucial for their stability against thermal and mechanical treatments, and chemical and biological environments. Here, two near quantitative ligation methods are demonstrated for the native backbone linkage at the nicks in origami: i) a cosolvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-assisted enzymatic ligation and ii) enzyme-free chemical ligation by CNBr. Both methods achieved over 90% ligation in 2D origami, only CNBr-method resulted in ≈80% ligation in 3D origami, while the enzyme-alone yielded 31-55% (2D) or 22-36% (3D) ligation. Only CNBr-method worked efficiently for 3D origami. The CNBr-mediated reaction is completed within 5 min, while DMSO-method took overnight. Ligation by these methods improved the structural stability up to 30 °C, stability during the electrophoresis and subsequent extraction, and against nuclease and cell lysate. These methods are straightforward, non-tedious, and superior in terms of cost, reaction time, and efficiency.

Abstract
Biosilica, synthesized annually only by diatoms, is almost 1000 times more abundant than industrial silica. Biosilicification occurs at a high rate, although the concentration of silicic acid in natural waters is ~100 μM. It occurs in neutral aqueous solutions, at ambient temperature, and under the control of proteins that determine the formation of hierarchically organized structures. Using diatoms as an example, the fundamental differences between biosilicification and traditional sol-gel technology, which is performed with the addition of acid/alkali, organic solvents and heating, have been identified. The conditions are harsh for the biomaterial, as they cause protein denaturation and cell death. Numerous attempts are being made to bring sol-gel technology closer to biomineralization processes. Biomimetic synthesis must be conducted at physiological pH, room temperature, and without the addition of organic solvents. To date, significant progress has been made in approaching these requirements. The review presents a critical analysis of the approaches proposed to date for the silicification of biomacromolecules and cells, the formation of bionanocomposites with controlled structure, porosity, and functionality determined by the biomaterial. They demonstrated the broad capabilities and prospects of biomimetic methods for creating optical and photonic materials, adsorbents, catalysts and biocatalysts, sensors and biosensors, and biomaterials for biomedicine.

Abstract
DNA nanostructures have played an important role in the development of novel drug delivery systems. Herein, we report a DNA origami-based CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system for efficient gene therapy in vivo. In our design, a PAM-rich region precisely organized on the surface of DNA origami can easily recruit and load sgRNA/Cas9 complex by PAM-guided assembly and pre-designed DNA/RNA hybridization. After loading the sgRNA/Cas9 complex, the DNA origami can be further rolled up by the locking strands with a disulfide bond. With the incorporation of DNA aptamer and influenza hemagglutinin (HA) peptide, the cargo-loaded DNA origami can realize the targeted delivery and effective endosomal escape. After reduction by GSH, the opened DNA origami can release the sgRNA/Cas9 complex by RNase H cleavage to achieve a pronounced gene editing of a tumor-associated gene for gene therapy in vivo. This rationally developed DNA origami-based gene editing system presents a new avenue for the development of gene therapy.

Abstract
The combination of lithographic methods with two-dimensional DNA origami self-assembly has led, among others, to the development of photonic crystal cavity arrays and the exploration of sensing nanoarrays where molecular devices are patterned on the sub-micrometre scale. Here we extend this concept to the third dimension by mounting three-dimensional DNA origami onto nanopatterned substrates, followed by silicification to provide hybrid DNA-silica structures exhibiting mechanical and chemical stability and achieving feature sizes in the sub-10-nm regime. Our versatile and scalable method relying on self-assembly at ambient temperatures offers the potential to three-dimensionally position any inorganic and organic components compatible with DNA origami nanoarchitecture, demonstrated here with gold nanoparticles. This way of nanotexturing could provide a route for the low-cost production of complex and three-dimensionally patterned surfaces and integrated devices designed on the molecular level and reaching macroscopic dimensions.

Abstract
Unprecedented advances in metal nanoparticle synthesis have paved the way for broad applications in sensing, imaging, catalysis, diagnosis, and therapy by tuning the optical properties, enhancing catalytic performance, and improving chemical and biological properties of metal nanoparticles. The central guiding concept for regulating the size and morphology of metal nanoparticles is identified as the precise manipulation of nucleation and subsequent growth, often known as seed-mediated growth methods. However, since the growth process is sensitive not only to the metal seeds but also to capping agents, metal precursors, growth solution, growth/incubation time, reductants, and other influencing factors, the precise control of metal nanoparticle morphology is multifactorial. Further, multiple reaction parameters are entangled with each other, so it is necessary to clarify the mechanism by which each factor precisely regulates the morphology of metal nanoparticles. In this review, to exploit the generality and extendibility of metal nanoparticle synthesis, the mechanisms of growth influencing factors in seed-mediated growth methods are systematically summarized. Second, a variety of critical properties and applications enabled by grown metal nanoparticles are focused upon. Finally, the current progress and offer insights on the challenges, opportunities, and future directions for the growth and applications of grown metal nanoparticles are reviewed.

Abstract
Three-dimensional assembly based on DNA origami structures is an ideal method to precisely fabricate nano-scale materials. Additionally, applying an anisotropic assembly unit facilitates constructing complex materials with extraordinary structure. However, it still remains challenging to crystallize anisotropic DNA nano-structures using simple design, because the assembly of low-symmetry monomers often requires harsh auxiliary conditions and more complicated crystallization processes. In this work, we managed to crystallize the anisotropic elongated octahedral DNA origami frames by non-specific connections, and acquired two kinds of highly ordered superlattices purely by conducting multiple annealing processes and increasing the rigidity of the connection parts. In the case where the connection parts were composed of soft DNA sticky ends, we obtained the theoretically inaccessible simple cubic superlattices by this anisotropic DNA origami shape. Through characterization by small-angle X-ray scattering and scanning electron microscopy, we found that the DNA monomers are arbitrarily arranged due to the stress buffering of the soft DNA SEs, while in the stiffer case, simple tetragonal superlattices with translational arrangement of most anisotropic DNA origami shapes were synthesized as expected. This work deepened the understanding of geometry-guided crystallization of DNA origami shapes and provided a new path for constructing three-dimensional functional devices with simple design.

Abstract
Organosilica nanoparticles that contain responsive organic building blocks as constitutive components of the silica network offer promising opportunities for the development of innovative drug formulations, biomolecule delivery, and diagnostic tools. However, the synthetic challenges required to introduce dynamic and multifunctional building blocks have hindered the realization of biomimicking nanoparticles. In this study, capitalizing on our previous research on responsive nucleic acid-based organosilica nanoparticles, we combine the supramolecular programmability of nucleic acid (NA) interactions with sol-gel chemistry. This approach allows us to create dynamic supramolecular bridging units of nucleic acids in a silica-based scaffold. Two peptide nucleic acid-based monoalkoxysilane derivatives, which self-assemble into a supramolecular bis-alkoxysilane through direct base pairing, were chosen as the noncovalent units inserted into the silica network. In addition, a bridging functional NA aptamer leads to the specific recognition of ATP molecules. In a one-step bottom-up approach, the resulting supramolecular building blocks can be used to prepare responsive organosilica nanoparticles. The supramolecular Watson-Crick-Franklin interactions of the organosilica nanoparticles result in a programmable response to external physical (i.e., temperature) and biological (i.e., DNA and ATP) inputs and thus pave the way for the rational design of multifunctional silica materials with application from drug delivery to theranostics.

Abstract
The development of smart nanoparticles (NPs) that encode responsive features in the structural framework promises to extend the applications of NP-based drugs, vaccines, and diagnostic tools. New nanocarriers would ideally consist of a minimal number of biocompatible components and exhibit multiresponsive behavior to specific biomolecules, but progress is limited by the difficulty of synthesizing suitable building blocks. Through a nature-inspired approach that combines the programmability of nucleic acid interactions and sol-gel chemistry, we report the incorporation of synthetic nucleic acids and analogs, as constitutive components, into organosilica NPs. We prepared different nanomaterials containing single-stranded nucleic acids that are covalently embedded in the silica network. Through the incorporation of functional nucleic acids into the organosilica framework, the particles respond to various biological, physical, and chemical inputs, resulting in detectable physicochemical changes. The one-step bottom-up approach used to prepare organosilica NPs provides multifunctional systems that combine the tunability of oligonucleotides with the stiffness, low cost, and biocompatibility of silica for different applications ranging from drug delivery to sensing.

Abstract
In recent years, nucleic acid has emerged as a versatile molecule that has been strategically used in material synthesis and biomedical applications. Keeping in mind the presence of the phosphate group, a glass former in the nucleic acids, we synthesized a transparent glass-like material by the thermal treatment of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) at 900 °C at atmospheric pressure. Characterization of this material by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and confocal fluorescence microscopy suggested the presence of in situ-formed nanodiamonds within the phosphate glass matrix. The molecular structure of glass investigated by X-ray photoelectron and infrared spectroscopy indicated a nearly equal proportion of metaphosphates and smaller phosphate units (pyro- and ortho-phosphate) that form the phosphate glass matrix. Thereafter, in vitro biological experiments showed that the nucleic acid-derived glass was non-toxic and cytocompatible, enhanced extracellular matrix secretion, and increased intracellular alkaline phosphatase activity, with potential application in hard tissue engineering. Our work offers insights into nanodiamond synthesis at atmospheric pressure and proves that nucleic acids could be used as a precursor to making an innovative glass-ceramic biomaterial.

Abstract
Since the discovery of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in 2003, significant progress has been made in the field, specifically advancing aspects of their preparation and physicochemical characterization. Their low-cost and unique tailored properties are reasons for their growing importance as a sustainable medium for the resource-efficient processing and synthesis of advanced materials.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2023; 35:e2302497.

Abstract
The compaction and organization of genomic DNA is a central mechanism in eukaryotic cells, but engineered architectural control over double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) is notably challenging. Here, long dsDNA templates are folded into designed shapes via triplex-mediated self-assembly. Triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) bind purines in dsDNA via normal or reverse Hoogsteen interactions. In the triplex origami methodology, these non-canonical interactions are programmed to compact dsDNA (linear or plasmid) into well-defined objects, which demonstrate a variety of structural features: hollow and raster-filled, single- and multi-layered, with custom curvatures and geometries, and featuring lattice-free, square-, or honeycomb-pleated internal arrangements. Surprisingly, the length of integrated and free-standing dsDNA loops can be modulated with near-perfect efficiency; from hundreds down to only six bp (2 nm). The inherent rigidity of dsDNA promotes structural robustness and non-periodic structures of almost 25.000 nt are therefore formed with fewer unique starting materials, compared to other DNA-based self-assembly methods. Densely triplexed structures also resist degradation by DNase I. Triplex-mediated dsDNA folding is methodologically straightforward and orthogonal to Watson-Crick-based methods. Moreover, it enables unprecedented spatial control over dsDNA templates.

Abstract
Biomineralization is an attractive pathway to produce mineral-based biomaterials with high performance and hierarchical structures. To date, the biomineralization process and mechanism have been extensively studied, especially for the formation of bone, teeth, and nacre. Inspired by those, abundant biomimetic mineralized materials have been fabricated for biomedical applications. Those bioinspired materials generally exhibit great mechanical properties and biological functions. Nevertheless, substantial gaps remain between biomimetic materials and natural materials, particularly with respect to mechanical properties and mutiscale structures. This Review summarizes the recent progress of micro- and macroscopic biomimetic mineralization from the perspective of materials synthesis and biomedical applications. To begin with, we discuss the progress of biomimetic mineralization at the microscopic level. The mechanical strength, stability, and functionality of the nano- and micromaterials are significantly improved by introducing biominerals, such as DNA nanostructures, nanovaccines, and living cells. Next, numerous biomimetic strategies based on biomineralization at the macroscopic scale are highlighted, including in situ mineralization and bottom-up assembly of mineralized building blocks. Finally, challenges and future perspectives regarding the development of biomimetic mineralization are also presented with the aim of offering insights for the rational design and fabrication of next-generation biomimetic mineralized materials.

Abstract
Cellular collective motion in confluent epithelial monolayers is involved in many processes such as embryo development, carcinoma invasion, and wound healing. The development of new chemical strategies to achieve large-scale control of cells' collective motion is essential for biomedical applications. Here a series of DNA nanostructures with different dimensions were synthesized and their influences on cells' collective migration and packing behaviors in epithelial monolayers were investigated. We found that the framed DNA nanoassemblies effectively reduced the cells' speed by increasing the rigidity of cells, while the lipid-DNA micelles had a more pronounced effect on cells' projection area and shape factor. These DNA nanostructures all significantly enhanced the dependence of cells' speed on their shape factor. Our results indicate that cells' mobility in monolayers can be manipulated by chemical intercellular interactions without any genetic intervention. This may provide a new chemical strategy for tissue engineering and tumor therapy.

Abstract
A huge variety of nanostructures are promising for biomedical applications, but only a few have been practically applied. Among the various reasons, the limited structural preciseness is a critical one, as it increases the difficulty in product quality control, accurate dosing, and ensuring the repeatability of material performance. Constructing nanoparticles with molecule-like preciseness is becoming a new research field. In this review, we focus on the artificial nanomaterials that can currently be molecularly or atomically precise, including DNA nanostructures, some metallic nanoclusters, dendrimer nanoparticles and carbon nanostructures, describing their syntheses, bio-applications and limitations, in view of up-to-date studies. A perspective on their potential for clinical translation is also given. This review is expected to provide a particular rationale for the future design of nanomedicines.

Abstract
Tile-based DNA self-assembly is a cost-effective fabrication method for large-scale nanopatterns. Herein, we report a protocol to directly assemble DNA 2D arrays on silicon wafers and then use the DNA nanostructures as molds to fabricate the corresponding nanostructures on the silicon wafers by hydrogen fluoride (HF) etching. Similar HF etching has been used with robust large DNA origami structures as templates. This work demonstrates that DNA nanostructures assembled from small tiles are sufficiently stable for this process. The resulting feature size (∼8.6 nm) approaches the sizes of e-beam lithography. While the reported method is parallel and inexpensive, e-beam lithography is a serial method and is expensive. We expect that this method will be very useful for preparing fine nanopatterns in large areas.

Abstract
How far we can push chemical self-assembly is one of the most important scientific questions of the century. Colloidal self-assembly is a bottom-up technique for the rational design of functional materials with desirable collective properties. Due to the programmability of DNA base pairing, surface modification of colloidal particles with DNA has become fundamental for programmable material self-assembly. However, there remains an ever-lasting demand for surface regioselective encoding to realize assemblies that require specific, directional, and orthogonal interactions. Recent advances in surface chemistry have enabled regioselective control over the formation of DNA bonds on the particle surface. In particular, the structural DNA nanotechnology provides a simple yet powerful design strategy with unique regioselective addressability, bringing the complexity of colloidal self-assembly to an unprecedented level. In this review, we summarize the state-of-art advances in DNA-mediated regioselective surface encoding of colloids, with a focus on how the regioselective encoding is introduced and how the regioselective DNA recognition plays a crucial role in the self-assembly of colloidal structures. This review highlights the advantages of DNA-based regioselective modification in improving the complexity of colloidal assembly, and outlines the challenges and opportunities for the construction of more complex architectures with tailored functionalities.

Abstract
Biomolecular markers, particularly circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in diagnosis, monitoring, and therapeutic intervention of cancers. However, existing detection strategies remain intricate, laborious, and far from being developed for point-of-care testing. Here, we report a portable colorimetric sensor that utilizes the hetero-assembly of nanostructures driven by base pairing and recognition for direct detection of miRNAs. Following hybridization, two sizes of nanoparticles modified with single-strand DNA can be robustly assembled into heterostructures with strong optical resonance, exhibiting distinct structure colors. Particularly, the large nanoparticles are first arranged into nanochains to enhance scattering signals of small nanoparticles, which allows for sensitive detection and quantification of miRNAs without the requirement of target extraction, amplification, and fluorescent labels. Furthermore, we demonstrate the high specificity and single-base selectivity of testing different miRNA samples, which shows great potential in the diagnosis, staging, and monitoring of cancers. These heterogeneous assembled nanostructures provide an opportunity to develop simple, fast, and convenient tools for miRNAs detection, which is suitable for many scenarios, especially in low-resource setting.

Abstract
Cell encapsulation has been studied for various applications ranging from cell transplantation to biological production. However, current encapsulation technologies focus on cell protection rather than cell regulation that is essential to most if not all cell-based applications. Here we report a method for cell nanoencapsulation and regulation using an ultrathin biomimetic extracellular matrix as a cell nanocapsule to carry nanoparticles (CN2 ). This method allows high-capacity nanoparticle retention at the vicinity of cell surfaces. The encapsulated cells maintain high viability and normal metabolism. When gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are used as a model to decorate the nanocapsule, light irradiation transiently increases the temperature, leading to the activation of the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) promoter and the regulation of reporter gene expression. As the biomimetic nanocapsule can be decorated with any or multiple NPs, CN2 is a promising platform for advancing cell-based applications.

Abstract
Recent advances in structural DNA nanotechnology have been facilitated by design tools that continue to push the limits of structural complexity while simplifying an often-tedious design process. We recently introduced the software MagicDNA, which enables design of complex 3D DNA assemblies with many components; however, the design of structures with free-form features like vertices or curvature still required iterative design guided by simulation feedback and user intuition. Here, we present an updated design tool, MagicDNA 2.0, that automates the design of free-form 3D geometries, leveraging design models informed by coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. Our GUI-based, stepwise design approach integrates a high level of automation with versatile control over assembly and subcomponent design parameters. We experimentally validated this approach by fabricating a range of DNA origami assemblies with complex free-form geometries, including a 3D Nozzle, G-clef, and Hilbert and Trifolium curves, confirming excellent agreement between design input, simulation, and structure formation.

Abstract
Early detection and diagnosis of many cancers is very challenging. Late stage detection of a cancer always leads to high mortality rates. It is imperative to develop novel and more sensitive and effective diagnosis and therapeutic methods for cancer treatments. The development of new cancer treatments has become a crucial aspect of medical advancements. Nanobots, as one of the most promising applications of nanomedicines, are at the forefront of multidisciplinary research. With the progress of nanotechnology, nanobots enable the assembly and deployment of functional molecular/nanosized machines and are increasingly being utilized in cancer diagnosis and therapeutic treatment. In recent years, various practical applications of nanobots for cancer treatments have transitioned from theory to practice, from in vitro experiments to in vivo applications. In this paper, we review and analyze the recent advancements of nanobots in cancer treatments, with a particular emphasis on their key fundamental features and their applications in drug delivery, tumor sensing and diagnosis, targeted therapy, minimally invasive surgery, and other comprehensive treatments. At the same time, we discuss the challenges and the potential research opportunities for nanobots in revolutionizing cancer treatments. In the future, medical nanobots are expected to become more sophisticated and capable of performing multiple medical functions and tasks, ultimately becoming true nanosubmarines in the bloodstream.
