With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology ...

Researchers have succeeded in producing nanotubes that fold into cytoskeleton-like structures, using a new RNA origami ...

The researchers tested the RNA origami in a lipid vesicle, a simple cell model system widely used in biology. Using so-called RNA aptamers, the artificial cytoskeleton was bound to the cell membranes.

The paper, by D. Han at Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA, and colleagues was titled, "Single-stranded DNA and RNA origami." ...

DNA origami structures are easily programmable and AAVs are highly efficient carriers for gene therapy. The LNPs facilitate RNA delivery, which underlies modern mRNA vaccines and a broad range of ...

which can be RNA, DNA or other types of molecules—so there's no limitation.” In their work presented in Science, Yan and colleagues assembled origami rectangle tiles with 20-base-pair DNA ...
