Header and Body 4
- DNA stimuli-responsive hydrogel that leverages the specificity and programmability of the CRISPR-Cas system
- Target specificity is easily modulated through simple replacement of the guide RNA sequence
- Low concentrations of DNA stimulus are required to induce response
- Demonstrated uses for this versatile technology include controlled release of bound payloads (e.g., fluorescent molecules, active enzymes, nanoparticles, or live cells), degradable electrical fuses, and valves in fluidic devices
- Wide range of applications in medicine, tissue engineering, bioelectronics, and environmental monitoring
