Abstract

Abstract DNA nanotechnology represents an innovative discipline that combines nanotechnology with biotechnology. It exploits the distinctive characteristics of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to create nanoscale structures and devices with remarkable accuracy and functionality. Researchers may create complex nanostructures with precision and specialized functions using DNA's innate stability, adaptability, and capacity to self‐assemble through complementary base‐pairing interactions. Integrating multiple disciplines, known as nanobiotechnology, allows the production of sophisticated nanodevices with a broad range of applications. These include precise drug delivery systems, extremely sensitive biosensors, and the construction of intricate tissue scaffolds for regenerative medicine. Moreover, combining DNA nanotechnology with mechanobiology provides a new understanding of how small‐scale mechanical stresses and molecular interactions affect cellular activity and tissue development. DNA nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize molecular diagnostics, tissue engineering, and organ regeneration. This could lead to enormous improvements in biomedicine. This review emphasizes the most recent developments in DNA nanotechnology, explicitly highlighting its significant influence on mechanobiology and its growing involvement in organ engineering. It provides an extensive overview of present trends, obstacles, and future prospects in this fast‐progressing area.
