MIT researchers have built an AI language model that learns the internal coding patterns of a yeast species widely used to manufacture protein-based drugs, then rewrites gene sequences to push protein ...

A new generation of artificial intelligence is starting to read the human genome with a fluency that would have sounded like science fiction a decade ago. Instead of scanning DNA for one mutation at a ...

Drug-carrying DNA aptamers can deliver a one-two punch to leukemia by precisely targeting the elusive cancer stem cells that seed cancer relapses, researchers at the University of Illinois ...

DNA nanopyramids slip through the brain's protective barrier and release cancer drugs only when they detect the acidic ...

A University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. This new structural and ...

In a new study published in the Journal of Controlled Release, researchers from Tokyo University of Science attempted to minimize and optimize DNA nanostructures for making hydrogels. A Takumi-shaped ...

Scientists have developed a DNA nanoflower that delivers chemotherapy and gene therapy directly to breast cancer cells, boosting effectiveness while reducing side effects in early tests. Image Credit: ...

Similarly to the artistic technique of folding paper into ornate shapes, DNA origami is a self-assembling technique of precisely folding single-stranded DNA scaffolds into well-defined nanostructures.
