Graphical Abstract A supramolecular double network hydrogel is presented by physical interpenetration of DNA and cucurbit[8]uril networks. In addition to exhibiting an increase in strength thermal stability, the possesses excellent properties such as stretchability, ductility, shear-thinning, thixotropy. Moreover, it enzymatically responsive both nuclease cellulase, well small molecules, showing great potential a new soft material scaffold.
Abstract Regeneration after severe spinal cord injury cannot occur naturally in mammals. Transplanting stem cells to the site is a highly promising method, but it faces many challenges because relies heavily on microenvironment provided by both lesion and delivery material. Although mechanical properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability of materials have been extensively explored, their permeability has rarely recognized. Here, DNA hydrogel designed with extremely high repair 2 mm gap...
RNA interference (RNAi) mediated by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) or short hairpin (shRNAs) has become a powerful tool for gene knockdown studies. However, the levels of vary greatly. Here, we examine effect target disruption energy, novel measure accessibility, along with other parameters that may affect RNAi efficiency. Based on secondary structures predicted Sfold program, energy represents free cost local alteration structure to allow binding siRNA guide strand. In analyses 100 siRNAs...
A polypeptide-DNA hydrogel is prepared by employing the "X"-shaped DNA assembling structure as crosslinker. The can be modified with multifunctional components (here fluorescent molecules a model) and possesses excellent self-healing thixotropic properties, enabling direct-writing of arbitrary 3D structures. This study provides simple, universal strategy for assembly functionalized hydrogels.
Immunotherapy is believed to be an ideal method treat cancer because it can break the immunotolerance of tumor and induce robust immunoresponse. However, constructing a wide antigen-adaptive, easy-handling, biodegradable system that recruit activate antigen-presenting cells (APCs) much effectively still challenge. Herein, we show injectable DNA supramolecular hydrogel vaccine (DSHV) which could efficiently APCs in vitro vivo. The processes have been visualized by fluorescence microscopy....
This work describes the first rigorous example of a single-component block copolymer system forming unconventional spherical phases. A library discrete polymers with uniform chain length and diverse architectures were modularly prepared through combination step-growth approach highly efficient coupling reactions. The precise chemical structure eliminates all molecular defects associated molar weight, dispersity, compositional ratio. Complex phases, including Frank–Kasper phase (A15 σ)...
Abstract Background RNA interference (RNAi) mediated by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) or short hairpin (shRNAs) has become a powerful technique for eukaryotic gene knockdown. siRNA GC-content negatively correlates with RNAi efficiency, and it is of interest to have convincing mechanistic interpretation this observation. We here examine issue considering the secondary structures both target messenger (mRNA) guide strand. Results By analyzing unique homogeneous data set 101 shRNAs targeted...
By integrating a DNA motor based on an i-motif sequence that undergoes pH-dependent conformational transition into hydrogel network, such microscopic leads to macroscopic change in mechanical properties. This strategy allows reversible tuning of the strength ranging from 250 Pa 1000 Pa.
DNA hydrogel has aroused widespread attention because of its unique properties. In this work, the DNA-modified magnetic nanoparticles were integrated into mainframe hydrogel, resulting in DNA-MNP hydrogel. Under field, can be remotely deformed various shapes, driven to jump between two planes and even climb hill. By applying triggers, such as temperature, enzyme, specifically undergo sol-gel transition. This work not only imparts with a new fold property but also opens platform smart...
Tissue engineering has long been a challenge because of the difficulty addressing requirements that such an engineered tissue must meet. In this paper, we developed new "brick-to-wall" based on unique properties DNA supramolecular hydrogels to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) tissuelike structures: different cell types are encapsulated in hydrogel bricks which then combined build 3D structures. Signal responsiveness cells through gels was evaluated and it discovered gel permits migration 3D....
Mechanical interactions between cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) are critical for stem cell fate decision. Synthetic models of ECM, such as hydrogels, can be used to precisely manipulate the mechanical properties niche investigate how signals regulate behavior. However, it has long been a great challenge tune solely ECM-mimic hydrogels' since altering most materials is usually accompanied by chemical topological changes. Here, we employ DNA its enantiomers prepare series hydrogels with...

Abstract Spiropyran‐based materials (SPBMs) can give responses to the stimulations induced by light, heat, force, or pH, which have been used as triggers for many smart materials. Here, a cross‐linkable SPBM containing mesogenic‐units is synthesized, pale‐colored, non‐photoluminescent and non‐mesogenic at spiro form, but dark‐colored, photoluminescent, mesogenic merocyanine form. Moreover, dynamic interconversion behavior of form in different chemical environments are distinct. Liquid...
