For DNA nanomotor, we synthesized 8-Py-dG and incorporated it into d(T3G2)4 which can form quadruplex. We measured CD spectra for this ODN. The result suggested that this ODN was changed from quadruplex to duplex by the hybridization with the complementary strand. Further, this ODN had a very interesting property of fluorescence. The fluorescent intensity could be controlled whether the complementary strand was existed, or not.

The therapeutic outcomes of medications were restricted by the colonic mucosal barrier during the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Micro/nanomotors can overcome the mucus barriers to reach deep colorectal tumors. In this study, we constructed a novel microsized PLGA-Pt micromotor (MM) driven by hydrogen peroxide (HO) to enhance drug delivery to the CRC tissues and achieve effective antitumor therapy.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on enhancing the immune response against breast cancer by addressing the limitations of current therapies that utilize the cGAS-STING pathway and PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint blockade.
- A novel silica nanomotor is created, which utilizes a unique design for better penetration into cancer cells and is equipped with a photosensitizer to activate the cGAS-STING pathway and boost immune cell maturation.
- Asymmetrical modifications on the nanomotor enable both movement and targeted intervention, effectively blocking PD-1/PD-L1 interactions to improve T cell responses, offering a new approach for targeted breast cancer therapy.

Enzymes encapsulated in extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold promise as biomarkers for early cancer diagnosis. However, precise measurement of their catalytic activities within EVs remains a notable challenge. Here, we report an enzymatically triggered spherical DNA nanomotor (EDM) that enables one-pot, cascaded, and highly sensitive analysis of the activity of EV-associated or free apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1, a key enzyme in base excision repair) across various biological samples.

Nanomotors are usually designed to work in liquid media and carry cargo; they exhibit excellent potential for biosensing and disease treatment applications due to their small size. Graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are crucial components of rotary nanomotors because of excellent mechanical properties and adaptability to the human body. Herein, we introduce a DNA-CNT-based nanomotor that achieves its rotational control through an array of nanopores with tunable surface charges.
