Article Abstract

DNA origami is a cutting-edge nanotechnology approach that creates precise and detailed 2D and 3D nanostructures. The crucial feature of DNA origami is how it is created, which enables precise control over its size and shape. Biocompatibility, targetability, programmability, and stability are further advantages that make it a potentially beneficial technique for a variety of applications. The preclinical studies of sophisticated programmable nanomedicines and nanodevices that can precisely respond to particular disease-associated triggers and microenvironments have been made possible by recent developments in DNA origami. These stimuli, which are endogenous to the targeted disorders, include protein upregulation, pH, redox status, and small chemicals. Oncology has traditionally been the focus of the majority of past and current research on this subject. Therefore, in this comprehensive review, we delve into the intricate world of DNA origami, exploring its defining features and capabilities. This review covers the fundamental characteristics of DNA origami, targeting DNA origami to cells, cellular uptake, and subcellular localization. Throughout the review, we emphasised on elucidating the imperative for such a therapeutic platform, especially in addressing the complexities of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Moreover, we explore the vast potential inherent in DNA origami technology, envisioning its promising role in the realm of CVD treatment and beyond.
