Biocompatible Microscale DNA Hydrogels with Programmable Swelling and Sequence-Specific Dissolution

Corinna Torabi, Emily Helm, Harrison Khoo, Rebecca Schulman, Soojung Claire Hur, Sophie Tanenbaum, Takayuki Suzuki

A microfluidic platform produces uniform DNA hydrogels that swell up to twice their size and dissolve in response to specific DNA sequences.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

We present a biocompatible fabrication and characterization platform for micron-scale DNA-hydrogels (microSDs) with tunable isotropic swelling and dissolving properties... achieving up to a two-fold size increase through programmable DNA design parameters.

C2weakest assumption

That the microfluidic workflow is truly biocompatible and material-efficient while delivering precise, isotropic swelling without hidden effects from fabrication artifacts or non-specific interactions.

C3one line summary

Microfluidic fabrication produces monodisperse DNA microgels with programmable isotropic swelling up to twofold and sequence-specific dissolution kinetics controlled by strand displacement and diffusion.
