Article Synopsis
- Thermal annealing is normally required to help DNA strands stick together, but this new method uses a special solution to let them self-assemble at normal temperatures.
- The process allows DNA shapes, like origami and grids, to form naturally and change shape when they find a better arrangement.
- This technique could help create smart nanomachines and discover new structures by taking advantage of self-assembly and evolution-like changes.
The ability to self-assemble DNA nanodevices with programmed structural dynamics that can sense and respond to the local environment can enable transformative applications in fields including mechanobiology and nanomedicine. The responsive function of biomolecules is often driven by alterations in conformational distributions mediated by highly sensitive interactions with the local environment. In this review, the current state-of-the-art in constructing complex DNA geometries with dynamic and mechanical properties to enable a molecular scale force measurement is first summarized.

To optimize alignment of health-care policy and education, a scientific evidence-based approach is required.
Methods: A French translation (SPICE-R2F) of the Student Perceptions of Interprofessional Clinical Education-Revised instrument, version 2 (SPICE-R2) was generated.
Article Synopsis
- A 10-year-old girl with Marfan syndrome experienced postural headaches due to spontaneous intracranial hypotension caused by a cerebrospinal fluid leak.
- The patient was diagnosed with multiple dural ectasias and the leak at the left cervicothoracic junction was identified during her medical evaluation.
- The case emphasizes the importance of recognizing spontaneous intracranial hypotension as a possible complication in children with Marfan syndrome and similar connective tissue disorders.
