Carbon-nanotube reinforcement of DNA-silica nanocomposites yields programmable and cell-instructive biocoatings

DNA composite materials have potential for biomedical sciences; however, control over the materials can be an issue. Here, the authors report on a carbon-nanotube reinforced DNA-silica gel with controllable mechanical properties to steer the attachment, proliferation, migration and release of cells.
