DNA-programmed cell assembly builds on and is interconnected with several broader areas of research, including DNA [[nanotechnology]], programmable materials, and synthetic biology. DNA origami is a more specific example of a programmable structural material, in which a long ssDNA scaffold can be contorted into complex 2D and 3D shapes through short complementary staple strands. Several orthogonal DNA pairs interact with each other to create complex structures, usually in the [[nanometer]] range.[{{Cite journal |last1=Hong |first1=Fan |last2=Zhang |first2=Fei |last3=Liu |first3=Yan |last4=Yan |first4=Hao |date=2017-10-25 |title=DNA Origami: Scaffolds for Creating Higher Order Structures |url=https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.chemrev.6b00825 |journal=Chemical Reviews |language=en |volume=117 |issue=20 |pages=12584–12640 |doi=10.1021/acs.chemrev.6b00825 |pmid=28605177 |issn=0009-2665}}] DNA-origami nanoarrays can be used with multivalent aptamers to improve binding affinity to low-affinity [[antigen]]-specific cells through adjusting aptamer valency and spacing to match the target proteins' surfaces.
