Abstract
AbstractPrecise assembly of biomolecules into functional aggregate structures represents a key characteristic of nature living cells, and is critical for the cellular processes. The construction of artificial aggregates in living cells by responding to intracellular specific stimuli has been applied in elucidating molecular mechanisms of naturally cellular processes and interfering with cellular processes, which is potential and significant in biomedicine. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) features sequence programmability, precise assembly and versatility, and therefore is regarded as the potential candidate for constructing versatile functional aggregates in living cells. In this review, we summarize our recent efforts of employing DNA to in situ construct versatile aggregates in living cells via responding intracellular triggers, and the subsequent bio‐interference of the DNA aggregates. Finally, we discuss the remaining challenges and opportunities in the field, and envision that rational design and construction of versatile DNA aggregates in living system would be a promising solution for precision and personalized therapeutics.
