About this book
Comprehensive coverage of DNA nanotechnology with a focus on its biomedical applications in disease diagnosis, gene therapy, and drug delivery
Bringing together multidisciplinary aspects of chemical, material, and biological engineering, DNA Nanotechnology for Cell Research: From Bioanalysis to Biomedicine presents an overview of DNA nanotechnology with emphasis on a variety of different applications in cell research and engineering, covering a unique collection of DNA nanotechnology for fundamental research and engineering of living cells, mostly in cellulo and in vivo, for the first time. Broad coverage of this book ranges from pioneering concepts of DNA nanotechnology to cutting-edge reports regarding the use of DNA nanotechnology for fundamental cell science and related biomedical engineering applications in sensing, bioimaging, cell manipulation, gene therapy, and drug delivery.
The text is divided into four parts. Part I surveys the progress of functional DNA nanotechnology tools for cellular recognition. Part II illustrates the use of DNA-based biochemical sensors to monitor and image intracellular molecules and processes. Part III examines the use of DNA to regulate biological functions of individual cells. Part IV elucidates the use of DNA nanotechnology for cell-targeted medical applications.
Sample topics covered in DNA Nanotechnology for Cell Research include:
- Selections and applications of functional nucleic acid toolkits, including DNA/RNA aptamers, DNAzymes, and riboswitches, for cellular recognition, metabolite detection, and liquid biopsy.
- Developing intelligent DNA nanodevices implemented in living cells for amplified cell imaging, smart intracellular sensing, and in cellulo programmable biocomputing.
- Harnessing dynamic DNA nanotechnology for non-genetic cell membrane engineering, receptor signaling reprogramming, and cellular behavior regulation.
- Construction of biocompatible nucleic acid nanostructures as precisely controlled vehicles for drug delivery, immunotherapy, and tissue engineering.
Providing an up-to-date tutorial style overview along with a highly valuable in-depth perspective, DNA Nanotechnology for Cell Research is an essential resource for the entire DNA-based nanotechnology community, including analytical chemists, biochemists, materials scientists, and bioengineers.
