DNA nanotechnology has emerged as a powerful tool to precisely design and control
molecular circuits, machines and nanostructures. A major goal in this field is to build devices …

Integrating dynamic reconfigurable DNA crosslinking units, smart DNA hydrogels have
demonstrated sol–gel transition, shape memory, self-healing, sensing, cargo encapsulation …

A major challenge in cancer vaccine therapy is the efficient delivery of antigens and
adjuvants to stimulate a controlled yet robust tumour-specific T-cell response. Here, we …

The cytoskeleton is an essential component of a cell. It controls the cell shape, establishes
the internal organization, and performs vital biological functions. Building synthetic …

Biological cells routinely reconfigure their shape using dynamic signalling and regulatory
networks that direct self-assembly processes in time and space, through molecular …

Here we show a general approach to achieve dissipative control over toehold‐mediated
strand‐displacement, the most widely employed reaction in the field of DNA …

Stimuli‐responsive designs with exogenous stimuli enable remote and reversible control of
DNA nanostructures, which break many limitations of static nanostructures and inspired …

Bottom-up and top-down approaches to synthetic biology each employ distinct
methodologies with the common aim to harness living systems. Here, we realize a strategic …

Bottom-up synthetic biology aims to engineer artificial cells capable of responsive behaviors
by using a minimal set of molecular components. An important challenge toward this goal is …

Transmembrane proteins transmit chemical signals as well as mechanical cues. The latter is
often achieved by coupling to the cytoskeleton. The incorporation of fully engineerable …
