New DNA origami technique promises breakthroughs in medicine

A new technique in building DNA structures at a microscopic level has the potential to advance drug delivery and disease diagnosis, a study suggests. A team of scientists, from the universities of Portsmouth and Leicester in the UK, has developed an innovative way to customise and strengthen DNA origami. DNA origami is the method of creating nanostructures with remarkable precision using DNA strands as building blocks. However, these structures are delicate and can fall apart easily under biological conditions, like changes in temperature or exposure to certain enzymes found in living organisms. In a new paper, published in the Journal
