Herein, magnetic biological bots (BioBots) prepared from defatted sunflower pollen microparticles by ferromagnetic metal layer evaporation on one side its surface are described. It is demonstrated that the methodology employed introduces to microparticles‐based BioBots enable actuation. Interestingly, as‐prepared pollen‐based naturally attract cancer cells due opposite charges (positive negative, respectively). Such attracted then transported microrobots. This strong attraction also allows delivery drugs intended kill cells. Sunflower‐based fabricated in large quantities, programmable, making them promising candidates for cell therapy.

Synthetic catalytic DNA circuits have been recognized as a promising signal amplification toolbox for sensitive intracellular imaging, yet their selectivity and efficiency are always constrained by uncontrolled off-site leakage inefficient on-site circuitry activation. Thus, the endogenously controllable exposure/activation of is highly desirable achieving selective imaging live cells. Herein, an activated DNAzyme strategy was facilely integrated with circuit guiding efficient microRNA in vivo. To prevent activation, constitute initially caged without sensing functions, which could be selectively liberated amplifier to guarantee high-contrast target This intelligent modulation can tremendously expand these molecularly engineered biological systems.

Toehold-mediated DNA strand displacement is the foundation of dynamic nanotechnology, encompassing a wide range tools with diverse functions, dynamics, and thermodynamic properties. However, majority these are limited to unidirectional reactions driven by thermodynamics. In response growing field dissipative we present an approach: DNAzyme-based (D-DSD), which combines principles nanotechnology nanotechnology. D-DSD introduces circular characteristics, distinguishing it from observed in conventional displacement. We investigated reaction mechanism devised temporal control elements. By substituting components, designed two distinct AND gates using fewer than 10 strands, eliminating need for complex network designs. contrast previous logic gates, our storage not through dynamics or cross-inhibition but autoregressive storage, more modular scalable approach memory storage. preserves fundamental structure toehold-mediated displacement, while offering enhanced simplicity versatility.

Abstract Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) is promising for applications in many fields. However, most systems involving CPL are within the visible range; near‐infrared (NIR) CPL‐active materials, especially those that exhibit high g lum values and can be controlled spatially temporally, rare. Herein, dynamic NIR‐CPL with a value of 2.5×10 −2 was achieved through supramolecular coassembly energy‐transfer strategies. The chiral assemblies formed by between adenosine triphosphate (ATP) pyrene derivative exhibited red signal ( 10 −3 ). further introduction sulfo‐cyanine5 resulted process, which not only led to NIR but also increased .

Exosomal microRNAs (exomiRNAs) have emerged as ideal biomarkers for early clinical diagnostics. The accurate detection of exomiRNAs plays a crucial role in facilitating applications. Herein, an ultrasensitive electrochemiluminescent (ECL) biosensor was constructed using three-dimensional (3D) walking nanomotor-mediated CRISPR/Cas12a and tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs)-modified nanoemitters (TCPP-Fe@HMUiO@Au-ABEI) exomiR-155 detection. Initially, the 3D strategy could effectively convert target into amplified biological signals improving sensitivity specificity. Then, TCPP-Fe@HMUiO@Au nanozymes with excellent catalytic performance were used to amplify ECL because enhanced mass transfer increased active sites, originating from its high surface areas (601.83 m2/g), average pore size (3.46 nm), large volumes (0.52 cm3/g).
