A joint research team has developed an automated design technology that enables the creation of DNA origami structures that ...

UT Austin researchers folded DNA into a nanoscale Longhorn, demonstrating a breakthrough that could help deliver cancer drugs more precisely and speed up the production of advanced materials.

In one sentence: DNA origami is a self-assembly technique that folds a long single-stranded DNA molecule into precisely defined nanoscale shapes using hundreds of short, computer-designed staple ...

Just as the name suggests, DNA origami is a fabrication technique wherein researchers fold DNA strands to create precisely shaped 2- and 3-dimensional nanostructures. These highly programmable ...

A three-dimensional DNA origami robot has been developed to probe the mechanism of recently discovered cellular receptors sensitive to touch and force. On a cellular level, our bodies have a dense ...

A research team has developed a technology that can quickly predict the mechanochemical shape changes of DNA origami nanostructures. The team includes Professor Do-Nyun Kim's research team from the ...

Scaffolded DNA and RNA origami is a technique that allows scientists to build tiny, highly precise two- and three-dimensional ...

One of the challenges of fighting pancreatic cancer is finding ways to penetrate the organ's dense tissue to define the margins between malignant and normal tissue. A new study uses DNA origami ...

The central ingredient of therapeutic cancer vaccines is antigens, which are preferentially produced or newly produced (neoantigens) by tumor cells and enable a patient’s immune system to search and ...

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 ...

Many drugs, including small molecules and biologicals, operate systemically with no innate control over distribution and, therefore, function. This lack of control is a central driver of adverse ...
