AI Article Synopsis
- DNA-based coatings are beneficial for medical and dental implants and were tested in a study using titanium cylinders implanted in rats.
- The study compared DNA-based coatings with traditional CaP coatings and noncoated titanium controls over periods of 1 and 4 weeks.
- Results showed that DNA-based and CaP coatings enhanced bone-to-implant contact, with SBF-pretreated DNA coatings leading to better bone integration over time compared to noncoated implants.
Article Abstract
DNA-based coatings possess beneficial properties useful for medical and dental implants. The present study evaluated the potential in vivo bioactivity of DNA-based coatings, either or not pretreated in simulated body fluid (SBF). DNA-based coatings were generated on titanium cylinders using layer-by-layer deposition, with bis-ureido-surfactant as the cationic component and DNA as the anionic component. Noncoated titanium implants and CaP-coated implants served as controls. A total of 80 implants, divided in four experimental groups (n = 10) were implanted unilaterally into the lateral femoral condyles of 80 rats. After implantation periods of 1 and 4 weeks, the bone-to-implant contact and bone volume around the implants were determined histomorphometrically. The results of this study showed that DNA-based coatings and CaP coatings increased bone-to-implant contact after 1 week compared to noncoated controls. After 4 weeks of implantation, bone-to-implant contact increased significantly for SBF pretreated DNA coatings and CaP coatings, whereas DNA-coated implants showed no additional effect. The bone-to-implant contact of noncoated controls increased to the level of the DNA-coated implants. Consequently, this study demonstrates that DNA-based coatings are histocompatible and favor early bone responses. SBF-pretreated DNA-based coatings were found to increase both early and late peri-implant bone responses.

Self-assembly presents a remarkable approach for creating intricate structures by positioning nanomaterials in precise locations, with control over molecular interactions. For example, material arrays with interplanar distances similar to the wavelength of light can generate structural color through complex interactions like scattering, diffraction, and interference. Moreover, enzymes, plasmonic nanoparticles, and luminescent materials organized in periodic lattices are envisioned to create functional materials with various applications.

Disperse systems, and emulsions in particular, are currently massively used in fields as varied as food industry, cosmetics, health care and environmentally-friendly materials. To meet increasingly precise needs or targeted applications, these systems need to be endowed with new functionalities at their interfaces, in addition to their composition and structural properties. However, due to the fragility of drops and the low reactivity of their surface, conventional solid surface chemistry cannot be used for such a purpose.

Signaling cascades are crucial for transducing stimuli in biological systems, enabling multiple stimuli to regulate a downstream target with precisely controlled timing and amplifying signals through a series of intermediary reactions. Developing a robust signaling system with such capabilities would be pivotal for programming complex behaviors in synthetic DNA-based molecular devices. However, although "software" such as nucleic acid circuits could potentially be harnessed to relay signals to DNA-based nanostructure hardware, such explorations have been limited.

DNA nanotechnology is a rapidly growing field that provides exciting tools for biomedical applications. Targeting lysosomal functions with nanomaterials, such as DNA nanostructures (DNs), represents a rational and systematic way to control cell functionality. Here we present a versatile DNA nanostructure-based platform that can modulate a number of cellular functions depending on the concentration and surface decoration of the nanostructure.

Cell-cell interactions govern diverse biological activities, necessitating molecular tools for understanding and regulating these interactions. Photoredox chemistry can detect cell-cell interactions by anchoring photocatalysts on cellular membranes to generate reactive species that tag closely contacting cells. However, the activation of photocatalysts lacks precise spatial resolution for selectively labeling intercellular interfaces.
