Biomaterials, 2018 Programmable hydrogels are defined as hydrogels that are able to change their properties and functions periodically, reversibly and/or sequentially on demand. They are different from those responsive hydrogels whose changes are passive or cannot be stopped or reversed once started and vice versa.

Microrheology of DNA hydrogels [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018 Significance While widely known as the molecule of life, DNA is also an amazing building block at the nanoscale, since it allows us to design and program the structure and dynamics of functional nanomaterials. We exploit the programmability of DNA to achieve control over the rheology of self-assembled hydrogels, which have elastic or viscous ...
