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 ...

DNA origami is a technique used for the nanoscale folding of DNA to develop two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) shapes at a nanoscale range. No bigger than a virus, each of these ...

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving ...

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 ...

Against this backdrop, a team led by Professor Zhang Han and Associate Professor Chen Zhi from Shenzhen University in China , has demonstrated an innovative approach that combines DNA origami, CRISPR ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers describe how to exploit DNA origami as a platform to build superconducting nanoarchitectures. The structures they built are addressable with nanometric precision that can be used as a ...

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 ...

Earlier this week, we learned about wedding rings made out of DNA. Now, the ability to fold stringy bits of DNA into patterns and shapes has gone 3-D thanks to a new technique pioneered at Arizona ...
