Scientists developed "nano-origami" using DNA, gold nanoparticles to reshape droplets into six-pointed stars, enabling ...
Recently, research using DNA origami technology to create nanostructures for advanced bio-convergence fields has been actively conducted. Especially, the technology to utilize environmental changes ...
AMHERST — Greg Grason draws inspiration from the wings of butterflies and birds. As a researcher and professor of polymer science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, he and his team look to ...
Essentially DNA origami enables long strands of DNA to fold, through self-assembly, into any desired shape. (In the 2006 paper, Rothemund famously used the technique to create miniature DNA smiley ...
To assemble these minuscule structures, researchers first create a scaffold: a long piece of single-stranded DNA with a carefully designed sequence of bases. Then they add hundreds of shorter DNA ...
A fleeting DNA fold called i‑DNA can switch cancer‑related genes on and off, revealing a hidden structural weak point that ...
Johns Hopkins engineers have created a new optical tool that could improve cancer imaging. Their approach, called SPECTRA, uses tiny nanoprobes that light up when they attach to aggressive cancer ...
Scientists have designed a DNA scaffold that carries HIV vaccine proteins into the body and sharpens the immune response against the virus. One of the biggest hurdles in developing an HIV vaccine is ...
A coarse-grained model of the DNA origami lilypad used in the study. The tails hanging down indicate where redox reporters are located. For scale, the diameter of the disk is approximately 80 nm.
