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 ...

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.

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 ...

Johnson and Alistar competed as finalists in CU Boulder’s 2025 Lab Venture Challenge where their technology generated much interest from industry leaders. Access to DNA is crucial in many branches of ...

DNA, the medium of life, is so deeply associated with the biochemical world that considering its nonbiological applications may seem far-fetched. However, for researchers in the 1980s and 1990s ...

DNA stores the instructions for life and, along with enzymes and other molecules, computes everything from hair color to risk of developing diseases. Harnessing that prowess and immense storage ...

A team has used a process known as DNA origami to make electrochemical sensors that can quickly detect and measure biomarkers. Using an approach called DNA origami, scientists at Caltech have ...
