Scientists at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden announced in a paper on Monday that they have developed nanorobots which kill cancer cells using a specialized trigger. The technology, first tested in ...

A team of scientists in the U.S. and China has created programmable DNA origami nanorobots that can seek out and shrink tumors by blocking their blood supply. Tests in mice carrying breast, melanoma, ...

Using DNA origami, scientists at Karolinska Institute designed nanorobots containing a hidden cancer kill switch that is activated only when exposed to the tumor environment. They have shared details ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of DNA origami. The system they developed may ...

In a major advancement in nanomedicine, Arizona State University (ASU) scientists, in collaboration with researchers from the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST), of the Chinese ...

DNA nanopyramids slip through the brain's protective barrier and release cancer drugs only when they detect the acidic environment surrounding a tumor. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Brain tumors are ...

The shape and morphology of a cell play a key role in the biological function. This corresponds to the principle of "form follows function," which is common in modern fields of design and architecture ...
