In 2020, there were 2.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer. Deaths related to cancer occur due to metastasis. In most types of solid tumors, spreading happens through collective migration, ...

For the past 20 years, researchers have been creating nanoparticles from DNA strands by modifying the connections that keep DNA in its double-helical form. This allows them to create self-assembling ...

Thought LeadersMichael GirgisAssistant Professor at the Bioengineering departmentGeorge Mason University Get ready to explore the fascinating world of lipid nanoparticles in the latest episode of omg ...

The biodegradable polymer Poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is widely regarded as safe for use in medical applications, seeing common use in the creation of particles used in in vivo studies.

AMES, Iowa – Scientists have been making nanoparticles out of DNA strands for two decades, manipulating the bonds that maintain DNA’s double-helical shape to sculpt self-assembling structures that ...

Evanston, IL In a paper to be published in Science Jan. 18, scientists Chad Mirkin and Sharon Glotzer and their teams at Northwestern University and University of Michigan, respectively, present ...

A team of researchers has developed a novel method to enhance the precision of cancer treatment using gold nanoparticles tagged with DNA barcodes. A team of researchers from the National University of ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

Advances in sequencing technologies have accelerated the discovery of the genetic causation of diseases and new cell types. This revolution has also given rise to a new technique known as genetic ...

DURHAM, N.C. – Autoimmune diseases are mysterious. It wasn’t until the 1950s that scientists realized that the immune system could harm the organs of its own body. Even today, the fundamental causes ...
