i-DNA 'peek-a-boo structures' form in living cells and regulate genes linked to cancer

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

Self-assembling 'bundlemers' could reshape next-generation protein-based materials

Proteins are the building blocks of life. These biomolecules comprise chains of amino acids that fold into precise shapes to ...

Scientists use RNA nanotechnology to program living cells, opening a new path for cancer cure

Scientists at Rutgers University–Newark have developed a first-of-its-kind RNA-based nanotechnology that assembles itself inside living human cells and can be programmed to stop propagation of harmful ...
