Natural Aging of Biomaterials in Ambient and Physiological Environments
Biomaterials used in biomedical applications can change their physical properties over time, even under ambient and physiological conditions. This review highlights key studies on the natural aging of materials ranging from soft hydrogels to metals and ceramics, emphasizing how time‐dependent changes influence function and performance.

Unraveling G‐Quadruplex and i‐Motif Coexistence Within a Double‐Stranded DNA
The relative thermodynamic profiles of G‐quadruplex (G4), i‐Motif (iM), and the duplex counterpart tune the simultaneous G4 and iM formation within a double‐stranded (ds) DNA. ABSTRACT DNA can transiently fold into variable arrangements, which are expected to exploit regulatory functions. Guanine‐rich sequences can fold into G‐quadruplexes (G4s), while

Photoactivated Signaling Networks using DNA‐Based Synthetic Organelles as Biomimetic Protocells
Light‐triggered intercommunication between two types of organelle‐loaded liposomes lead to DNAzyme‐mediated on transcription‐guided structural reconfiguration of the organelles. ABSTRACT Membraneless organelles formed by phase‐separated nucleic acid or protein condensates play vital roles in regulating cellular functions.

A simple, rapid, and portable gold‐coated filter tip‐based assay (GFTA) is developed for bacterial detection. The GFTA leverages cleavable functional nucleic acid probes as molecular recognition elements to target RNase H2, a highly conserved bacterial endoribonuclease, enabling sensitive and specific colorimetric detection of bacterial pathogens ...

Rationally designed DNA multivalent aptamers direct specific protein binding to drive self‐assembly into protein‐DNA frameworks (PDFs). Structurally defined protein‐aptamer interfaces organize proteins into triangles, linear and ladderlike chains, and periodic two‐dimensional arrays, enabling precise control over orientation, connectivity, and overall ...
