In article number 1805552, Hua Zuo, Chengde Mao, and co‐workers describe an elegant method to assemble DNA microparticles (DNAµPs), relying on self‐assembly of multiple copies of the same, short, component DNA strand. The resulting DNAµPs can present single stranded DNA tails on their surfaces to stimulate innate immune responses and capture other single‐stranded nucleic acids.
