A Self‐Propelled DNA‐Based Nanorobot for Hypoxic Tumor Therapy
ABSTRACT Solid tumors pose major therapeutic hurdles due to pathophysiological barriers such as hypoxia and dense stroma, which severely restrict drug penetration. Conventional nanomedicines lack the autonomous capability to navigate these evolving obstacles. Here, we engineer a...

Defect Engineering of DNA Origami ROS Sensors for Portable Urinalysis
ABSTRACT Translating in situ dynamic changes of key signaling molecules into actionable clinical readouts remains a formidable challenge for noninvasive diagnostics. Here, focusing on reactive oxygen species (ROS) as pivotal signaling mediators, we developed defect‐programmed DNA...
