Forty-four years ago, Nadrian Seeman published his groundbreaking ideas on using DNA as a structural material, expanding ...

Previously, vaccinologists decorated therapeutic nanoparticles with CpG adjuvants. 6 However, William Shih, a synthetic biologist at Harvard University and an author of the Nature Nanotechnology paper ...

A dissertation study at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) developed two-dimensional fishnet-like structures from DNA origami for silicon surfaces and investigated how different conditions affect ...

DNA, the medium of life, is so deeply associated with the biochemical world that considering its nonbiological applications may seem far-fetched. However, for researchers in the 1980s and 1990s ...

One of the challenges of fighting pancreatic cancer is finding ways to penetrate the organ's dense tissue to define the margins between malignant and normal tissue. A new study uses DNA origami ...

DNA stores the instructions for life and, along with enzymes and other molecules, computes everything from hair color to risk of developing diseases. Harnessing that prowess and immense storage ...

Origami — the art of making various shapes from a single piece of paper — has been realized at the nanoscale using DNA. Sheets of ‘DNA wireframe paper’ have been developed that, through folding along ...

Researchers have created a DNA origami platform called DoriVac, whose core component is a self-assembling square block-shaped nanostructure. DoriVac vaccines enabled tumor-bearing mice to better ...

Pallav Kosuri (left) and Amanda Wacker (right) recorded the stepping motion of RNA polymerase along DNA by inventing a long-lasting fluorescent DNA origami nanostructure method called dye-cycling ...

A three-dimensional DNA origami robot has been developed to probe the mechanism of recently discovered cellular receptors sensitive to touch and force. On a cellular level, our bodies have a dense ...

Inspired by bacterial injection systems, the programmable nanosyringe mechanically crosses synthetic membranes, controls molecular transport, and switches biochemical reactions on inside cell-sized ...
