Responsive core-shell DNA particles trigger lipid-membrane disruption and bacteria entrapment

Lipid membrane disruption is often associated with disease but is also essential to a range of biosensing and therapeutic techniques. Here, the authors report on the development of DNA-based particles that, upon exposure to an external cue, can aggregate, disrupt lipid membranes, and arrest the moti...
