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 ...

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 origami and beyond. A) DNA octahedron that inspired development of DNA origami. B) 2D DNA origami (smiley face serves as an example). C) Hollow 3D DNA origami shapes that are folded from 2D ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 study used DNA origami to form 2D fishnet structures on silicon, testing growth conditions and advancing DNA-assisted lithography for optical materials. (Nanowerk News) A dissertation at the ...

Folded, origami-like DNA attached to a glass surface, as shown in this illustration, store data for fast, rewritable DNA-based computation. DNA stores the instructions for life and, along with enzymes ...
