Self-assembly is promising for construction of a wide variety supramolecular assemblies, whose 1D/2D/3D structures are typically relevant to their functions. In-depth understanding structure–function relationships essential rational design and development functional molecular assemblies. Microscopic imaging has been used as powerful tool elucidate individual assemblies with subnanometer millimeter resolution, which complementary conventional spectroscopic techniques that provide the ensemble structural information. In this review, we highlight representative examples visualization by use electron microscopy, atomic force confocal super-resolution microscopy. This review comprehensively describes nanofibers/gels, micelles/vesicles, coacervate droplets, polymer protein/DNA Advanced can address key challenges, like evaluation dynamics multicomponent self-assembly, self-assembly/disassembly in complex cellular milieu, also discussed. We believe would guidelines deeper analyses develop next-generation materials.

Therapeutic enzymes hold great promise for cancer therapy; however, in vivo remote control of enzymatic activity to improve their therapeutic specificity remains challenging. This study reports the development an organic semiconducting pro-nanoenzyme (OSPE) with a photoactivatable feature metastasis-inhibited therapy. Upon near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation, this not only generates cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2) photodynamic therapy (PDT), but also triggers spontaneous cascade reaction induce degradation ribonucleic acid (RNA) specifically tumor microenvironment. More importantly, OSPE-mediated RNA is found downregulate expression metastasis-related proteins, contributing inhibition metastasis after treatment. Such photoactivated and cancer-specific synergistic action OSPE enables complete growth lung mouse xenograft model, which possible counterpart PDT nanoagent. Thus, our proposes phototherapeutic-proenzyme approach toward complete-remission

Subcellular organelles are the cornerstones of cells, and destroying them will cause cell dysfunction even death. Therefore, realizing precise organelle targeting photosensitizers (PSs) can help reduce PS dosage, minimize side effects, avoid drug resistance, enhance therapeutic efficacy in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Organelle-targeted PSs provide a new paradigm for construction next generation may implementable strategies future precision medicine. In this Review, recent different corresponding design principles molecular nanostructured summarized discussed. The current challenges opportunities organelle-targeted PDT also presented.

Enzymatic reactions and noncovalent (i.e., supramolecular) interactions are two fundamental nongenetic attributes of life. synthesis (ENS) refers to a process where enzymatic control intermolecular for spatial organization higher-order molecular assemblies that exhibit emergent properties functions. Like covalent (ECS), in which an enzyme catalyzes the formation bonds generate individual molecules, ENS is unifying theme understanding functions, morphologies, locations ensembles cellular environments. This review intends provide summary works within past decade emphasize After comparing ECS ENS, we describe few representative examples nature uses as rule life, create biomacromolecules properties/functions myriad processes. Then, focus on man-made (synthetic) molecules cell-free conditions, classified by types enzymes. that, introduce exploration context cells discussing intercellular, peri/intracellular, subcellular cell morphogenesis, imaging, cancer therapy, other applications. Finally, perspective promises developing assemblies/processes aims be updated introduction researchers who interested exploring science technologies address societal needs.

Constructing artificial dynamic architectures inside cells to rationally interfere with organelles is emerging as an efficient strategy regulate the behaviors and fate of cells, thus providing new routes for therapeutics. Herein, we develop intracellular K+-mediating assembly DNA tetrahedrons which realizes mitochondrial interference consequent regulation on energy metabolism living cells. In designer tetrahedron, one vertex was modified triphenylphosphine (TPP) targeting, other three vertexes were tethered guanine-rich sequences that could realize formation intermolecular G-quadruplexes, consequently led form aggregates in cytoplasm. The specially targeted mitochondria served a polyanionic barrier substance communication, generating significant inhibition effect aerobic respiration function associated glycolysis process, reduced production adenosine triphosphate (ATP). lack ATP impeded lamellipodium essential movement resulting inhibitory cell migration. Remarkably, migration capacity suppressed by high 50% cancer This work provides manipulation via endogenous molecule-mediating exogenous envisioned have great potential precise biomedicine.

Abstract Since the 1960s membrane‐bound enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP) has been utilized in drug delivery. As it cleaves phosphate substructures from drugs, auxiliary agents, and even surface of nanocarriers, this enables design delivery systems that can alter their properties body on demand. Anionic nanocarriers exhibiting bioinert to interactive once having reached target site as due an ALP‐triggered cleavage anionic groups charge converts cationic improving for instance cellular uptake. Moreover, features such accumulation at or a targeted release triggered by ALP be introduced. In addition, is improve potential numerous diagnostic systems. Within review, one provides overview about activity, selectivity, distribution enzyme, well great variety applications diagnostics making use it.

Abstract Dynamic‐responsive self‐assembly is the process of ordered supramolecular structure formation or reversible decomposition from building blocks. This driven by non‐covalent interactions based on complex stimulus‐responsive systems comprising different components within a microenvironment. Furthermore, stimuli‐responsive assembly‐disassembly an intrinsic interaction in organisms, indispensable maintaining life activities and functions. However, dynamic between dynamically responsive nano‐drug (DRNSs) biological remain unpredictable, which are challenge for precisely targeted therapy controlled drug release DRNSs vivo. review highlights novel self‐assembling peptide‐based their interactions. By controlling shape size self‐assembled peptide nanomaterials, biologically simulated with diverse functions precise transport at subcellular level can be achieved. We have also summarized limitations challenges nanomaterials clinical translation. Additionally, we discussed future perspectives therapeutics using signaling molecule gradient concentrations efficiencies highlighted direction developing clinically translatable smart nanomedicines.
