제목 Self-assembled Nucleic Acid Biomaterials for Biomedical applications
초록 The safe and effective delivery of nucleic acid drugs is a critical and challenging issue that impacts clinical translation of RNA or DNA as a therapeutic. Here we report a new materials concept that combines carrier and cargo: nucleic acid polymers that essentially assemble to form their own means of delivery – nucleic acid-based microstructures. A new method for creating polymerized DNA or RNA is used to generate pre-programmed polymeric DNA or RNA sequences that spontaneously assemble into nanoscale pleated sheets that form a sponge-like RNA microsphere and DNA hydrogel. These nucleic acid biomaterials are applicable for delivering small interference RNA or small drugs such as chemotherapy drugs.
