Abstract

DNA nanotechnology merges biology and engineering to create precise nanostructures through DNA origami. This approach allows for the construction of diverse nanoscale objects with exceptional precision and versatility, facilitated by DNA’s programmable nature and adaptability to incorporate functional elements like nanoparticles and proteins. In biomedical applications, DNA nanotechnology revolutionizes diagnostics, offering ultrasensitive biosensors capable of early disease detection and personalized medicine. Engineered DNA nanostructures serve as targeted drug delivery systems, enhancing therapeutic efficacy while minimizing off-target effects, particularly in cancer and neurological disorders. Additionally, in regenerative medicine, DNA scaffolds guide tissue regeneration with tailored spatial and mechanical properties, advancing tissue engineering. This multidisciplinary approach to theragnostics integrates diagnostics and therapeutics, propelling precision medicine forward with profound implications for healthcare and biotechnology. DNA nanotechnology emerges as a transformative tool, promising innovative solutions to longstanding challenges in diagnostics, therapeutics, and regenerative medicine.
