Modular Design of Programmable Mechanofluorescent DNA Hydrogels

Mechanosensitive materials typically lack complex response patterns due to difficult synthetic methods. Here, the authors introduce FRET-based DNA tension probes into macroscopic 3D DNA hydrogels to prepare mechanofluorescent materials with programmable sacrificial bonds and stress relaxation behavi...
