Abstract
DNA origami is a cutting-edge nanotechnology approach that creates precise and detailed 2D and 3D nanostructures. The crucial feature of DNA origami is how it is created, which enables precise control over its size and shape. Biocompatibility, targetability, programmability, and stability are further advantages that make it a potentially beneficial technique for a variety of applications. The preclinical studies of sophisticated programmable nanomedicines and nanodevices that can precisely respond to particular disease-associated triggers and microenvironments have been made possible by recent developments in DNA origami. These stimuli, which are endogenous to the targeted disorders, include protein upregulation, pH, redox status, and small chemicals. Oncology has traditionally been the focus of the majority of past and current research on this subject. Therefore, in this comprehensive review, we delve into the intricate world of DNA origami, exploring its defining features and capabilities. This review covers the fundamental characteristics of DNA origami, targeting DNA origami to cells, cellular uptake, and subcellular localization. Throughout the review, we emphasised on elucidating the imperative for such a therapeutic platform, especially in addressing the complexities of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Moreover, we explore the vast potential inherent in DNA origami technology, envisioning its promising role in the realm of CVD treatment and beyond.

Abstract
DNA nanostructures exhibit versatile geometries and possess sophisticated capabilities not found in other nanomaterials. They serve as customizable nanoplatforms for orchestrating the spatial arrangement of molecular components, such as biomolecules, antibodies, or synthetic nanomaterials. This is achieved by incorporating oligonucleotides into the design of the nanostructure. In the realm of drug delivery to cancer cells, there is a growing interest in active targeting assays to enhance efficacy and selectivity. The active targeting approach involves a "key-lock" mechanism where the carrier, through its ligand, recognizes specific receptors on tumor cells, facilitating the release of drugs. Various DNA nanostructures, including DNA origami, Tetrahedral, nanoflower, cruciform, nanostar, nanocentipede, and nanococklebur, can traverse the lipid layer of the cell membrane, allowing cargo delivery to the nucleus. Aptamers, easily formed in vitro, are recognized for their targeted delivery capabilities due to their high selectivity for specific targets and low immunogenicity. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the formation and modification of aptamer-modified DNA nanostructures within drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Biomolecule-functionalized nanoparticles represent a type of promising biomaterials in biomedical applications owing to their excellent biocompatibility and versatility. DNA-based reactions on nanoparticles have enabled emerging applications including intelligent biosensors, drug delivery, and biomimetic devices. Among the reactions, strand hybridization is the critical step to control the sensitivity and specificity of biosensing, and the efficiency of drug delivery. However, a comprehensive understanding of DNA hybridization on nanoparticles is still lacking, which may differ from the process in homogeneous solutions. To address this limitation, coarse-grained model-based molecular dynamic simulation is harnessed to disclose the critical factors involved in intermolecular hybridization. Based on simulation guidance, DNA walker-based smart theranostic platform (DWTP) based on "on-particle" hybridization is developed, showing excellent consistency with simulation. DWTP is successfully applied for highly sensitive miRNA 21 detection and tumor-specific miRNA 21 imaging, driven by tumor-endogenous APE 1 enzyme. It enables the precise release of antisense oligonucleotide triggered by tumor-endogenous dual-switch miRNA 21 and APE 1, facilitating effective gene silencing therapy with high biosafety. The simulation of "on-particle" DNA hybridization has improved the corresponding biosensing performance and the release efficiency of therapeutic agents, representing a conceptually new approach for DNA-based device design.

Abstract
Nanoconfined waters exhibit low static permittivity mainly due to interfacial effects that span about one nanometer. The characteristic length scale may be much longer in the terahertz (THz) regime where long-range collective dynamics occur; however, the THz dynamics have been largely unexplored because of the lack of a robust platform. Here, we use metallic loop nanogaps to sharply enhance light-matter interactions and precisely measure real and imaginary THz refractive indices of nanoconfined water at gap widths ranging from 2 to 20 nanometers, spanning mostly interfacial waters all the way to quasi-bulk waters. We find that, in addition to the well-known interfacial effect, the confinement effect also contributes substantially to the decrease in the complex refractive indices of the nanoconfined water by cutting off low-energy vibrational modes, even at gap widths as large as 10 nanometers. Our findings provide valuable insights into the collective dynamics of water molecules which is crucial to understanding water-mediated processes.

Abstract
In recent decades, nucleic acid self-assemblies have emerged as popular nanomaterials due to their programmable and robust assembly, prescribed geometry, and versatile functionality. However, it remains a challenge to purify large quantities of DNA nanostructures or DNA-templated nanocomplexes for various applications. Commonly used purification methods are either limited by a small scale or incompatible with functionalized structures. To address this unmet need, we present a robust and scalable method of purifying DNA nanostructures by Sepharose resin-based size exclusion. The resin column can be manually packed in-house with reusability. The separation is driven by a low-pressure gravity flow in which large DNA nanostructures are eluted first followed by smaller impurities of ssDNA and proteins. We demonstrated the efficiency of the method for purifying DNA origami assemblies and protein-immobilized DNA nanostructures. Compared to routine agarose gel electrophoresis that yields 1 μg or less of purified products, this method can purify ∼100-1000 μg of DNA nanostructures in less than 30 min, with the overall collection yield of 50-70% of crude preparation mixture. The purified nanocomplexes showed more precise activity in evaluating enzyme functions and antibody-triggered activation of complement protein reactions.

Abstract
The field of nucleic acid therapeutics has witnessed a significant surge in recent times, as evidenced by the increasing number of approved genetic drugs. However, current platform technologies containing plasmids, lipid nanoparticle-mRNAs, and adeno-associated virus vectors encounter various limitations and challenges. Thus, we are devoted to finding a novel nucleic acid vector and have directed our efforts toward investigating circular single-stranded DNA (CssDNA), an ancient form of nucleic acid. CssDNAs are ubiquitous, but generally ignored. Accumulating evidence suggests that CssDNAs possess exceptional properties as nucleic acid vectors, exhibiting great potential for clinical applications in genetic disorders, gene editing, and immune cell therapy. Here, we comprehensively review the discovery and biological effects of CssDNAs as well as their applications in the field of biomedical research for the first time. Undoubtedly, as an ancient form of DNA, CssDNA holds immense potential and promises novel insights for biomedical research.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are an array of derivatives of molecular oxygen that participate in multiple physiological processes under the control of redox homeostasis. However, under pathological conditions, the over-production of ROS often leads to oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions, indicating a potential therapeutic target. With the rapid development of nucleic acid nanotechnology, scientists have exploited various DNA nanostructures with remarkable biocompatibility, programmability, and structural stability. Among these novel organic nanomaterials, a group of skeleton-like framework nucleic acid (FNA) nanostructures attracts the most interest due to their outstanding self-assembly, cellular endocytosis, addressability, and functionality. Surprisingly, different FNAs manifest similarly satisfactory antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects during their biomedical application process. First, they are intrinsically endowed with the ability to neutralize ROS due to their DNA nature. Therefore, they are extensively involved in the complicated inflammatory signaling network. Moreover, the outstanding editability of FNAs also allows for flexible modifications with nucleic acids, aptamers, peptides, antibodies, low-molecular-weight drugs, and so on, thus further strengthening the targeting and therapeutic ability. This review focuses on the ROS-scavenging potential of three representative FNAs, including tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs), DNA origami, and DNA hydrogels, to summarize the recent advances in their anti-inflammatory therapy applications. Although FNAs exhibit great potential in treating inflammatory diseases as promising ROS scavengers, massive efforts still need to be made to overcome the emerging challenges in their clinical translation.

Abstract
Due to nucleic acid's programmability, it is possible to realize DNA structures with computing functions, and thus a new generation of molecular computers is evolving to solve biological and medical problems. Pioneered by Milan Stojanovic, Boolean DNA logic gates created the foundation for the development of DNA computers. Similar to electronic computers, the field is evolving towards integrating DNA logic gates and circuits by positioning them on substrates to increase circuit density and minimize gate distance and undesired crosstalk. In this minireview, we summarize recent developments in the integration of DNA logic gates into circuits localized on DNA substrates. This approach of all-DNA integrated circuits (DNA ICs) offers the advantages of biocompatibility, increased circuit response, increased circuit density, reduced unit concentration, facilitated circuit isolation, and facilitated cell uptake. DNA ICs can face similar challenges as their equivalent circuits operating in bulk solution (bulk circuits), and new physical challenges inherent in spatial localization. We discuss possible avenues to overcome these obstacles.

Abstract
Molecular electronics promises the ultimate level of miniaturization of computers and other machines as organic molecules are the smallest known physical objects with nontrivial structure and function. But despite the plethora of molecular switches, memories, and motors developed during the almost 50-years long history of molecular electronics, mass production of molecular computers is still an elusive goal. This is mostly due to the lack of scalable nanofabrication methods capable of rapidly producing complex structures (similar to silicon chips or living cells) with atomic precision and a small number of defects. Living nature solves this problem by using linear polymer templates encoding large volumes of structural information into sequence of hydrogen bonded end groups which can be efficiently replicated and which can drive assembly of other molecular components into complex supramolecular structures. In this paper, we propose a nanofabrication method based on a class of photosensitive polymers inspired by these natural principles, which can operate in concert with UV photolithography used for fabrication of current microelectronic processors. We believe that such a method will enable a smooth transition from silicon toward molecular nanoelectronics and photonics. To demonstrate its feasibility, we performed a computational screening of candidate molecules that can selectively bind and therefore allow the deterministic assembly of molecular components. In the process, we unearthed trends and design principles applicable beyond the immediate scope of our proposed nanofabrication method, e.g., to biologically relevant DNA analogues and molecular recognition within hydrogen-bonded systems.

Abstract
DNA nanostructures serve as precise templates for organizing organic dyes, enabling the creation of programmable artificial photonic systems with efficient light-harvesting and energy transfer capabilities. However, regulating the organization of organic dyes on DNA frameworks remains a great challenge. In this study, we investigated the factors influencing the self-assembly behavior of cyanine dye K21 on DNA frameworks. We observed that K21 exhibited diverse assembly modes, including monomers, H-aggregates, J-aggregates, and excimers, when combined with DNA frameworks. By manipulating conditions such as the ion concentration, dye concentration, and structure of DNA frameworks, we successfully achieved precise control over the assembly modes of K21. Leveraging K21's microenvironment-sensitive fluorescence properties on DNA nanostructures, we successfully discriminated between the chirality and topology structures of physiologically relevant G-quadruplexes. This study provides valuable insights into the factors influencing the dynamic assembly behavior of organic dyes on DNA framework nanostructures, offering new perspectives for constructing functional supramolecular aggregates and identifying DNA secondary structures.

Abstract
Optical microcavities, specifically, whispering-gallery mode (WGM) microcavities, with their remarkable sensitivity to environmental changes, have been extensively employed as biosensors, enabling the detection of a wide range of biomolecules and nanoparticles. To push the limits of detection down to the most sensitive single-molecule level, plasmonic nanorods are strategically introduced to enhance the evanescent fields of WGM microcavities. This advancement of optoplasmonic WGM sensors allows for the detection of single molecules of a protein, conformational changes, and even atomic ions, marking significant contributions in single-molecule sensing. This Perspective discusses the exciting research prospects in optoplasmonic WGM sensing of single molecules, including the study of enzyme thermodynamics and kinetics, the emergence of thermo-optoplasmonic sensing, the ultrasensitive single-molecule sensing on WGM microlasers, and applications in synthetic biology.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal chemistry has enabled scientists to carry out controlled chemical processes in high yields in vivo while minimizing hazardous effects. Its extension to the field of polyoxometalates (POMs) could open up new possibilities and new applications in molecular electronics, sensing and catalysis, including inside living cells. However, this comes with many challenges that need to be addressed to effectively implement and exploit bioorthogonal reactions in the chemistry of POMs. In particular, how to protect POMs from the biological environment but make their reactivity selective towards specific bioorthogonal tags (and thereby reduce their toxicity), as well as which bioorthogonal chemistry protocols are suitable for POMs and how reactions can be carried out are questions that we are exploring herein. This perspective conceptualizes and discusses advances in the supramolecular chemistry of POMs, their click chemistry, and POM-based surface engineering to develop innovative bioorthogonal approaches tailored to POMs and to improve POM biological tolerance.

Abstract
Sepsis, defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction, is associated with increased mortality in individuals with diabetes mellitus. In sepsis under diabetic conditions (SUDC), the superimposed inflammatory response and excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause severe damage to the kidney and liver, making it challenging to effectively repair multi-organ injury. In this study, we report the development of a DNA-based bifunctional nanomedicine, termed IL10-rDON, generated by assembling interleukin 10 (IL10) with rectangular DNA origami nanostructures (rDON) to address multi-organ dysfunction in SUDC. IL10-rDON was shown to predominantly accumulate in the kidney and liver of diabetic mice in vivo and effectively alleviate inflammatory responses through its anti-inflammatory IL10 component. In addition, the consumption of rDON itself significantly reduced excessive ROS in the liver and kidney. Serum and histological examinations further confirmed that IL10-rDON treatment could effectively improve liver and kidney function, as well as the survival of mice with SUDC. This study demonstrates an attractive antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nanomedicine for addressing acute liver and renal failure. The integration of rDON with therapeutic agents using DNA nanotechnology is a promising strategy for generating multifunctional nanomedicine to treat multi-organ dysfunction and other complicated diseases. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Sepsis under diabetic conditions (SUDC) leads to high mortality due to multiple organ failure such as acute liver and kidney injury. The anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin 10 (IL10) holds great potential to treat SUDC, while disadvantages of IL-10 such as short half-life, non-specific distribution and lack of antioxidant activities limit its wide clinical applications. In this study, we developed a DNA-based, bifunctional nanomedicine (IL10-rDON) by assembling IL10 with rectangular DNA origami nanostructures (rDON). We found that IL10-rDON preferentially accumulated and sufficiently attenuated the increased levels of ROS and inflammation in the kidney and liver injury sites, and eventually improved the survival rate of mice with SUDC. Our finding provides new insights into the application of DNA-based nanomedicine in treating multi-organ failure.

Abstract
Polymer self-assembly has become a reliable and versatile workhorse to produce polymeric nanomaterials. With appropriate polymer design and monomer selection, polymers can assemble into shapes and morphologies beyond well-studied spherical and cylindrical micellar structures. Steadfast access to anisotropic polymer nanoparticles has meant that the fabrication and application of 2D soft matter has received increasing attention in recent years. In this review, we focus on nanoscale polymer discs, toroids, and platelets: three morphologies that are often interrelated and made from similar starting materials or common intermediates. For each morphology, we illustrate design rules, and group and discuss commonly used self-assembly strategies. We further highlight polymer compositions, fundamental principles and self-assembly conditions that enable precision in bottom-up fabrication strategies. Finally, we summarise potential applications of such nanomaterials, especially in the context of biomedical research and template chemistry and elaborate on future endeavours in this space.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based drug delivery strategies have emerged as a crucial avenue for comprehensive sensorineural hearing loss treatment. Nevertheless, developing therapy vectors crossing both biological and cellular barriers has encountered significant challenges deriving from various external factors. Herein, the rational integration of gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs) with tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs) to engineer a distinct drug-delivery nanosystem (designed as TDN@GNP) efficiently enhances the biological permeability and cellular internalization, further resolving the dilemma of noise-induced hearing loss via loading epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) with anti-lipid peroxidation property. Rationally engineering of TDN@GNP demonstrates dramatic alterations in the physicochemical key parameters of TDNs that are pivotal in cell-particle interactions and promote cellular uptake through multiple endocytic pathways. Furthermore, the EGCG-loaded nanosystem (TDN-EGCG@GNP) facilitates efficient inner ear drug delivery by superior permeability through the biological barrier (round window membrane), maintaining high drug concentration within the inner ear. The TDN-EGCG@GNP actively overcomes the cell membrane, exhibiting hearing protection from noise insults via reduced lipid peroxidation in outer hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons. This work exemplifies how integrating diverse vector functionalities can overcome biological and cellular barriers in the inner ear, offering promising applications for inner ear disorders.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) regulate immune priming by expressing programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and PD-L2, which interact with the inhibitory receptor PD-1 on activated T cells. PD-1 signaling regulates T cell effector functions and limits autoimmunity. Tumor cells can hijack this pathway by overexpressing PD-L1 to suppress antitumor T cell responses. Blocking this inhibitory pathway has been beneficial for the treatment of various cancer types, although only a subset of patients responds. A deepened understanding of the spatial organization and molecular interplay between PD-1 and its ligands may inform the design of more efficacious nanotherapeutics. We visualized the natural molecular PD-L1 organization on DCs by DNA-PAINT microscopy and created a template to engineer DNA-based nanoclusters presenting PD-1 at defined valencies, distances, and patterns. These multivalent nanomaterials were examined for their cellular binding and blocking ability. Our data show that PD-1 nano-organization has profound effects on ligand interaction and that the valency of PD-1 molecules modulates the effectiveness in restoring T cell function. This work highlights the power of spatially controlled functional materials to unravel the importance of multivalent patterns in the PD-1 pathway and presents alternative design strategies for immune-engineering.

Abstract
DNA nanotechnology has significantly progressed in the last four decades, creating nucleic acid structures widely used in various biological applications. The structural flexibility, programmability, and multiform customization of DNA-based nanostructures make them ideal for creating structures of all sizes and shapes and multivalent drug delivery systems. Since then, DNA nanotechnology has advanced significantly, and numerous DNA nanostructures have been used in biology and other scientific disciplines. Despite the progress made in DNA nanotechnology, challenges still need to be addressed before DNA nanostructures can be widely used in biological interfaces. We can open the door for upcoming uses of DNA nanoparticles by tackling these issues and looking into new avenues. The historical development of various DNA nanomaterials has been thoroughly examined in this review, along with the underlying theoretical underpinnings, a summary of their applications in various fields, and an examination of the current roadblocks and potential future directions.

Abstract
In recent years, enzyme immobilization technology has been developed, and studies on immobilized enzyme materials have become very prominent. With the immobilization technique, enzymes and compatible carrier materials are combined or enzyme crystals/aggregates are used in a carrier-free fashion, by physical, chemical, or biochemical methods. As a kind of biocatalyst, immobilized enzymes can catalyze certain chemical reactions with high selectivity and high efficiency under relatively mild reaction conditions and eliminate pollution to the environment. Considering the current status and applications of immobilized enzyme technology and materials emerging in the last 5 years, this mini-review introduces the advantages and disadvantages of various enzyme immobilization techniques with carriers as well as the pros and cons of different materials for immobilization. The future prospects of immobilization technology and carrier materials are outlined, aiming to provide a reference for further research and applications of sustainable technology.

Abstract
Creating customizable metallic nanostructures in a simple and controllable manner has been a long-standing goal in nanoscience. In this study, we use DNA origami as a letterpress printing plate and gold nanoparticles as ink to produce predesigned gold nanostructures. The letterpress plate is reusable, enabling the repetitive production of predesigned gold nanostructures. Furthermore, by modifying the DNA origami letterpress plate on magnetic beads, we can simplify the printing processes. We have successfully printed gold nanoparticle dimers, trimers, straight and quadrilateral tetramers, and other nanostructures. Our approach improves the flexibility and stability of metallic nanostructures, simplifying both their design and their operation. It promises universal applicability in the fabrication of metamaterials, biosensors, and surface plasma nanooptics.

Abstract
The co-assembly of lipids and other compounds has recently gained increasing interest. Here, we report the formation of stimuli-responsive lipid-DNA origami fibers through the electrostatic co-assembly of cationic lipids and 6-helix bundle (6HB) DNA origami. The photosensitive lipid degrades when exposed to UV-A light, which allows a photoinduced, controlled release of the 6HBs from the fibers. The presented complexation strategy may find uses in developing responsive nanomaterials e.g. for therapeutics.

Abstract
For the molecular properties in which energy transfer/migration is determinantal, such as triplet-triplet annihilation-based photon up-conversion (TTAUC), the overall performance is largely affected by the intermolecular distance and relative molecular orientations. In such scenarios, tools that may steer the intermolecular interactions and provide control over molecular organisation in the bulk, become most valuable. Often these non-covalent interactions, found predominantly in supramolecular assemblies, enable pre-programming of the molecular network in the assembled structures. In other words, by employing supramolecular chemistry principles, an arrangement where molecular units are arranged in a desired fashion, very much like a Lego toy, could be achieved. This leads to enhanced energy transfer from one molecule to other. In recent past, chiral luminescent systems have attracted huge attention for producing circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). In such systems, chirality is a necessary requirement. Chirality induction/transfer through supramolecular interactions has been known for a long time. It was realized recently that it may help in the generation and amplification of CPL signals as well. In this review article we have discussed the applicability of self-/co-assembly processes for achieving maximum TTA-UC and CPL in various molecular systems.

Abstract
Reconfigurable chiral plasmonic complexes are fabricated by planar assembly of multiple individual gold nanorod dimers using DNA origami templates. Additionally, each chiral center can be controlled to switch among achiral, left-handed, and right-handed states. We demonstrate that their overall circular dichroism is determined by the coupling of individual chiral centers and is heavily influenced by the precise number and arrangement of these centers. Our study offers a novel self-assembly method for constructing intricate and dynamic chiral plasmonics as well as investigating the interactions among several plasmonic chiral centers.

Abstract
DNA origami synthesis is a well-established technique with wide-ranging applications. In most cases, the synthesized origami must be purified to remove excess materials such as DNA oligos and other functional molecules. While several purification techniques are routinely used, all have limitations, and cannot be integrated with robotic systems. Here the use of solid-phase reversible immobilization (SPRI) beads as a scalable, high-throughput, and automatable method to purify DNA origami is demonstrated. Not only can this method remove unreacted oligos and biomolecules with yields comparable to existing methods while maintaining the high structural integrity of the origami, but it can also be integrated into an automated workflow to purify simultaneously large numbers and quantities of samples. It is envisioned that the SPRI beads purification method will improve the scalability of DNA nanostructures synthesis both for research and commercial applications.

Abstract
Solution-based nanoparticle assembly represents a highly promising way to build functional metastructures based on a wealth of synthetic nanomaterial building blocks with well-controlled morphology and crystallinity. In particular, the involvement of DNA molecular programming in these bottom-up processes gradually helps the ambitious goal of customizable chemical nanofabrication. However, a fundamental challenge is to realize strong interunit coupling in an assembly toward emerging functions and applications. Herein, we present a unified and clean strategy to address this critical issue based on a H2O2-redox-driven "assembly and healing" process. This facile solution route is able to realize both capacitively coupled and conductively bridged colloidal boundaries, simply switchable by the reaction temperature, toward bottom-up nanoplasmonic engineering. In particular, such a "green" process does not cause surface contamination of nanoparticles by exogenous active metal ions or strongly passivating ligands, which, if it occurs, could obscure the intrinsic properties of as-formed structures. Accordingly, previously raised questions regarding the activities of strongly coupled plasmonic structures are clarified. The reported process is adaptable to DNA nanotechnology, offering molecular programmability of interparticle charge conductance. This work represents a new generation of methods to make strongly coupled nanoassemblies, offering great opportunities for functional colloidal technology and even metal self-healing.

Abstract
The DNA origami method has revolutionized the field of DNA nanotechnology since its introduction. These nanostructures, with their customizable shape and size, addressability, nontoxicity, and capacity to carry bioactive molecules, are promising vehicles for therapeutic delivery. Different approaches have been developed for manipulating and folding DNA origami, resulting in compact lattice-based and wireframe designs. Platinum-based complexes, such as cisplatin and phenanthriplatin, have gained attention for their potential in cancer and antiviral treatments. Phenanthriplatin, in particular, has shown significant antitumor properties by binding to DNA at a single site and inhibiting transcription. The present work aims to study wireframe DNA origami nanostructures as possible carriers for platinum compounds in cancer therapy, employing both cisplatin and phenanthriplatin as model compounds. This research explores the assembly, platinum loading capacity, stability, and modulation of cytotoxicity in cancer cell lines. The findings indicate that nanomolar quantities of the ball-like origami nanostructure, obtained in the presence of phenanthriplatin and therefore loaded with that specific drug, reduced cell viability in MCF-7 (cisplatin-resistant breast adenocarcinoma cell line) to 33%, while being ineffective on the other tested cancer cell lines. The overall results provide valuable insights into using wireframe DNA origami as a highly stable possible carrier of Pt species for very long time-release purposes.

Abstract
The conformation of complementary determining region (CDR) is crucial in dictating its specificity and affinity for binding with an antigen, making it a focal point in artificial antibody engineering. Although desirable, programmable scaffolds that can regulate the conformation of individual CDRs with nanometer precision are still lacking. Here, we devise a strategy to program the CDR conformation by anchoring both ends of a free CDR loop to specific sites of a DNA framework structure. This method allows us to define the span of a single CDR loop with an ∼2 nm resolution. Using this approach, we create a series of DNA framework based artificial antibodies (DNFbodies) with varied CDR loop spans, leading to different antibody-antigen binding affinities. We find that an optimized single CDR loop (∼2.3 nm span) exhibits ∼3-fold improved affinity relative to natural antibodies, confirming the critical role of the CDR conformation. This study may inspire the rational design of artificial antibodies.

Abstract
The immune response is orchestrated by elaborate protein interaction networks that interweave ligand-mediated receptor reorganization with signaling cascades. While the biochemical processes have been extensively investigated, delineating the biophysical principles governing immune receptor activation has remained challenging due to design limitations of traditional ligand display platforms. These constraints have been overcome by advances in DNA origami nanotechnology, enabling unprecedented control over ligand geometry on configurable scaffolds. It is now possible to systematically dissect the independent roles of ligand stoichiometry, spatial distribution, and rigidity in immune receptor activation, signaling, and cooperativity. In this review, we highlight pioneering efforts in manipulating the ligand presentation landscape to understand immune receptor triggering and to engineer functional immune responses.

Abstract
Molecular circuits crafted from DNA molecules harness the inherent programmability and biocompatibility of DNA to intelligently steer molecular machines in the execution of microscopic tasks. In comparison to combinational circuits, DNA-based temporal circuits boast supplementary capabilities, allowing them to proficiently handle the omnipresent temporal information within biochemical systems and life sciences. However, the lack of temporal mechanisms and components proficient in comprehending and processing temporal information presents challenges in advancing DNA circuits that excel in complex tasks requiring temporal control and time perception. In this study, we engineered temporal logic circuits through the design and implementation of a dual cross-inhibition mechanism, which enables the acceptance and processing of temporal information, serving as a fundamental building block for constructing temporal circuits. By incorporating the dual cross-inhibition mechanism, the temporal logic gates are endowed with cascading capabilities, significantly enhancing the inhibitory effect compared to a cross-inhibitor. Furthermore, we have introduced the annihilation mechanism into the circuit to further augment the inhibition effect. As a result, the circuit demonstrates sensitive time response characteristics, leading to a fundamental improvement in circuit performance. This architecture provides a means to efficiently process temporal signals in DNA strand displacement circuits. We anticipate that our findings will contribute to the design of complex temporal logic circuits and the advancement of molecular programming.

Abstract
Bioactive natural products (BNPs) are the marrow of medicinal plants, which are the secondary metabolites of organisms and have been the most famous drug discovery database. Bioactive natural products are famous for their enormous number and great safety in medical applications. However, BNPs are troubled by their poor druggability compared with synthesis drugs and are challenged as medicine (only a few BNPs are applied in clinical settings). In order to find a reasonable solution to improving the druggability of BNPs, this review summarizes their bioactive nature based on the enormous pharmacological research and tries to explain the reasons for the poor druggability of BNPs. And then focused on the boosting research on BNPs loaded drug delivery systems, this review further concludes the advantages of drug delivery systems on the druggability improvement of BNPs from the perspective of their bioactive nature, discusses why BNPs need drug delivery systems, and predicts the next direction.

Abstract
Hereditary ophthalmopathy is a well-described threat to human visual health affecting millions of people. Gene therapy for ophthalmopathy has received widespread attention with the increasing understanding of pathogenic genes. Effective and safe delivery of accurate nucleic acid drugs (NADs) is the core of gene therapy. Efficient nanodelivery and nanomodification technologies, appropriate targeted genes, and the choice of drug injection methods are the guiding lights of gene therapy. Compared with traditional drugs, NADs can specifically change the expression of specific genes or restore the normal function of mutant genes. Nanodelivery carriers can improve targeting and nanomodification can improve the stability of NADs. Therefore, NADs, which can fundamentally solve pathogeny, hold great promise in the treatment of ophthalmopathy. This paper reviews the limitations of ocular disease treatment, discusses the classification of NADs in ophthalmology, reveals the delivery strategies of NADs to improve bioavailability, targeting, and stability, and summarizes the mechanisms of NADs in ophthalmopathy.
