Endogenous miRNA expression patterns are extremely cell-type-specific, thereby offering high prediction accuracy for different cell identities. Here, a DNA-tetrahedron-based "AND" logic gate is utilized as a molecular device that recognizes dual-miRNA inputs through strand hybridization to activate a computation cascade that produces controlled singlet oxygen in live cells, resulting in the death of the target cell.
内源性 miRNA 表达模式具有极强的细胞类型特异性,因此能够对不同的细胞身份进行高精度预测。在这里,一种基于 DNA 四面体的“与”逻辑门被用作分子器件,通过链杂交识别双 miRNA 输入,激活计算级联反应,在活细胞中产生受控的单线态氧,从而导致靶细胞死亡。
