A research team from KAIST, Korea has successfully fabricated nanometer scaled DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) structures.
Neutrophil behavior after surgery puts patient at risk
Surgical injury induces a system stress response which is associated with an over-activation of the innate immune response and a subsequent immunosuppression in the early post-operative period.
Genetically Modified Energy – How DNA Enhances Photoelectrochemical Solar Cells
In a recent study, researchers succeeded in applying chickpea and wheat DNA as bridging unit and thin tunneling layer at the TiO2/dye interface.
Photoprotection or Photodamage? An Old But Unsolved Debate About Melanin
Over the past decade, melanin pigments and their subunits have attracted increasing interest as soft biocompatible functional materials with antioxidant properties for engineering high performance, low impact biocompatible optoelectronic devices, such as memory...
Gene therapy: Non-Viral Nanoparticles as Delivery Systems
Researchers from Case Western Reserve University present an efficient non-viral gene delivery system for safe gene therapy to treat genetic eye disorders.
Easily functionalized DNA for better conductivity
Nanowires can be produced by pulling DNA over micropillar arrays, leaving a simple overcoating step to improve conductivity.
DNAzyme controlled aggregation of gold nanoparticles for DNA sensors and aptasensors
Researchers have developed a DNA biosensor system by controlling the aggregation of AuNPs using horseradish-peroxidase-mimicking DNAzyme.
Nano-confinement reduces the chaos of DNA interactions: Bringing order to chemotherapy
Researchers at Texas A&M have observed dynamics that could otherwise be discounted as noise in DNA/small molecule interactions.
3D nanostructures are the future of energy collection
Physicists have developed a “planet-satellite model” to precisely connect and arrange nanoparticles in three-dimensional structures.
