Membrane-anchored DNA nanodevice with allosteric aptamer arms enables parallel probing and on-site drug delivery

DNA nanotechnology research article introducing a membrane‑tethered DNA construct as a customizable platform for precise, cell‑focused interventions.

Key Takeaways
  • Membrane-anchored DNA nanodevice uses three allosteric aptamer arms to detect multiple surface markers simultaneously
  • Concurrent binding of all three aptamers triggers an AND-logic release of doxorubicin-loaded tetrahedral DNA framework
  • In tumor-bearing mice, membrane-anchored DND@Dox accumulated in tumors and reduced systemic toxicity
