Illustration of the gene construct used in this study and the process of scaffold and DNA nanoparticle generation via aPCR and DNA origami, respectively, along with schematic diagram of different DNA ...

DURHAM, N.C. – Autoimmune diseases are mysterious. It wasn’t until the 1950s that scientists realized that the immune system could harm the organs of its own body. Even today, the fundamental causes ...

Case Western Reserve University chemist Divita Mathur was awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) grant for her research in synthetic DNA ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

A new paper describes a significant leap forward in assembling polyhedral nanoparticles. The researchers introduce and demonstrate the power of a novel synthetic strategy that expands possibilities in ...

For the past 20 years, researchers have been creating nanoparticles from DNA strands by modifying the connections that keep DNA in its double-helical form. This allows them to create self-assembling ...

A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has developed a novel method to enhance the precision of cancer treatment using gold nanoparticles tagged with DNA barcodes. Led ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists have been making nanoparticles out of DNA strands for two decades, manipulating the bonds that maintain DNA’s double-helical shape to sculpt self-assembling structures that ...

Evanston, IL In a paper to be published in Science Jan. 18, scientists Chad Mirkin and Sharon Glotzer and their teams at Northwestern University and University of Michigan, respectively, present ...
