A new vaccine design uses folded DNA to steer the immune system toward producing the rare immune cells needed to make ...

DNA origami sounds like science fiction, but for HIV vaccine researchers it is becoming a practical design tool. By folding strands of DNA into tiny three-dimensional scaffolds, scientists can arrange ...

One of the biggest hurdles in developing an HIV vaccine is coaxing the body to produce the right kind of immune cells and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
