Abstract

Nature has inspired the development of many life-like materials. Although still simplistic, key biological functionalities have been incorporated, enabling a wide variety of applications. DNA-based systems, in particular, show high promise due to their ability to merge specific Watson-Crick base pairing with unique properties that are also programmable, scalable, or dynamic. By combining the fields of DNA-based covalent polymers, DNA origami, and DNA-functionalized supramolecular polymers, new frontiers in next-generation DNA-based hybrid materials that can outperform current bioartificial systems will be realized. Many challenges must still be overcome before this emerging technology can be materialized.
