Abstract

Tetrahedral framework nucleic acid (tFNA), a special DNA nanodevice, is widely applied in diverse biomedical fields. Due to its high programmability, biocompatibility, tissue permeability as well as its capacity for cell proliferation and differentiation, tFNA presents a powerful tool that could overcome potential barriers in the treatment of neurological disorders. This review evaluates recent studies on the use and progress of tFNA-based nanomaterials in neurological disorders.

Highlights

  • The prevalence of neurological disorders (NDs) has increased in recent years (Feigin et al, 2021)

  • The results showed that Tetrahedral framework nucleic acid (tFNA) can effectively transfer miR-22 to damaged retinal ganglion cell (RGC) and have a neuroprotective effect on glaucoma

  • Our analysis shows that the newly synthesized DNA nanomaterials, tFNA, are biocompatible, biodegradable and programmable with size/ structure-controlled membrane permeability
