DNA‐mimic for Specific Surface Functionalization of Zr‐MOFs for Bacterial Targeting
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.We introduce phosphotyrosine‐modified PNA as a superior, single‐step post‐synthesis surface coating for PCN‐222. The DNA mimic allows for controlled post‐functionalization with single‐stranded DNA for the attachment of protein moieties for bacterial targeting. ABSTRACT Nanosized metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are versatile platforms used in biomedical

Therapeutic Applications of Stimuli‐Based Release and Engineering of Extracellular Vesicles
Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.This review summarizes the effects of endogenous and exogenous stimuli, their effects on the natural release of extracellular vesicles, as well as their uptake and release. It also gives an overview of stimuli‐responsive EVs and their therapeutic applications. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nano‐ to microsized lipid bilayer membrane‐bound particles, are

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.CRISPR/Cas9 has revolutionized the field of gene therapy, but delivery remains an outstanding issue. We propose a nonviral gold‐nanoparticle platform for co‐delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein and long 2.1 kilobase dsDNA transgene constructs. This CRISPR‐AuNP is inexpensive to produce and mediate gene editing and DNA delivery in T cells and CD34+

AND‐Logic‐Gated Aptamer Switch for Precise Targeting and Regulation of RNA G‐Quadruplexes
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.An AND‐logic‐gated aptamer switch enables tumor‐selective activation of RNA G‐quadruplex (rG4)‐targeting function. By combining cell‐surface recognition and intracellular redox sensing, the system achieves precise regulation of disease‐relevant RNA structures exclusively in tumor cells, with minimal off‐target effects in normal cells, offering a ...

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.We developed an assay to distinguish cellular binding from internalization. Compatible with microscopy and high‐throughput screening, the method identifies ligand‐mediated uptake. Applying top candidates to a protein‐based DNA carrier enhanced transfection efficiency, providing a rational strategy to improve non‐viral gene delivery systems.

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Molecular recognition guest binding can comprehensively modulate photoinduced charge‐transfer dynamics in the cyclophane host, including charge separation and recombination, via coherent superexchange and incoherent hopping. Unlike covalent donor–bridge–acceptor systems, this supramolecular approach avoids tedious syntheses and offers precise tuning of
