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 ...

Scientists developed "nano-origami" using DNA, gold nanoparticles to reshape droplets into six-pointed stars, enabling ...

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving electrical measurement precision and enabling detection of subtle structural changes ...

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 ...

Scientists have designed a DNA scaffold that carries HIV vaccine proteins into the body and sharpens the immune response against the virus. One of the biggest hurdles in developing an HIV vaccine is ...
