Researchers, who have studied DNA origami for years, have compiled the first detailed tutorial on the technique. In a technique known as DNA origami, researchers fold long strands of DNA over and over ...

Chemotherapy is the primary cancer treatment used today. It involves using cytotoxic agents which attack and kill cells that are rapidly dividing, like cancer cells. However, delivering these drugs ...

Researchers bolster antitumor immune defenses using cancer vaccines made from DNA origami. “One of the attractive things about DNA origami is how relatively simple it is for anybody to design,” Shih ...

(Nanowerk News) The quest for ever-smaller electronic components led an international group of researchers to explore using molecular building blocks to create them. DNA is able to self-assemble into ...

Ten years ago, Caltech scientist Paul W. K. Rothemund published the first paper on DNA origami. He demonstrated that one long single strand of DNA could fold into a predetermined shape of ...

Previously, a similar approach to making biosensors was developed using a single DNA strand rather than a DNA origami structure. That earlier work was led by Kevin W. Plaxco (PhD '94) of UC Santa ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have used DNA origami, the art of folding DNA into desired structures, to show how an important cell receptor can be activated in a previously unknown ...

Using DNA origami, scientists at Karolinska Institute designed nanorobots containing a hidden cancer kill switch that is activated only when exposed to the tumor environment. They have shared details ...

Researchers at the Karolinska Institute have used DNA origami to demonstrate how an important cell receptor can be activated in a previously unknown way. The new study provides insight into how the ...

Over the past decades, a growing number of robotics teams have started developing modular robots inspired by the ancient ...

To study the behavior of T-cells, an unusual method was used: DNA molecules were folded in an ingenious way, similar to the paper folding art origami. In this way, not just a double helix is created, ...
