Overview

Perspective review demonstrates synergistic advantages of protein-nucleic acid conjugates in diagnostic and therapeutic platforms, highlighting strategies to overcome translational hurdles.

Key Points

  • To outline the design principles, emerging capabilities, and translational bottlenecks of hybrid protein–nucleic acid conjugates in diagnostics and molecular medicine.
  • Synthesized recent advances in chemical biology, biomaterials engineering, and molecular diagnostics.
  • Evaluated conjugate performance parameters in single-cell detection assays and complex physiological media.
  • Assessed therapeutic mechanisms spanning targeted gene silencing, immunomodulatory signaling, and functional biomaterial design.
  • Conjugate systems enable signal amplification that achieves ultralow detection limits and single-cell selectivity in complex biological environments.
  • Hybrid architectures facilitate tissue-selective gene regulation and targeted immunotherapeutic responses beyond the capacity of individual components.
  • Widespread clinical translation requires resolving technical limitations in scalable synthesis, in vivo stability, and targeted intracellular delivery.
