DNA‐origami nanodevices are embedded on the membrane of two cells by Jonathan W. Song, Carlos E. Castro, and co‐workers in article number 1703632 . The devices are anchored to the cell via a DNA base‐pairing attachment to a cholesterol‐labeled DNA strand embedded in the membrane. The two pairs of nanostructures (shown here on the right) mediate adhesion between the cells via a sequence‐specific DNA binding interaction.
