DNA nanotechnology: new adventures for an old warhorse.
As the blueprint of life, the natural exploits of DNA are admirable. However, DNA should not only be viewed within a biological context. It is an elegantly simple yet functionally complex chemical polymer with properties that make it an ideal platform for engineering new nanotechnologies. Rapidly advancing synthesis and sequencing technologies are enabling novel unnatural applications for DNA b...
متن کاملInflammation 2010: New Adventures of an Old Flame
Inflammation is an essential immune response that enables survival during infection or injury and maintains tissue homeostasis under a variety of noxious conditions. Inflammation comes at the cost of a transient decline in tissue function, which can in turn contribute to the pathogenesis of diseases of altered homeostasis.
متن کاملNanotechnology takes a new look at old drugs.
W hen tumor necrosis factor (TNF) appeared on the cover of Time magazine in the mid-1980s, there were great hopes for this compound, which had dramatically shrunk tumors in mice. Those hopes evaporated when preclinical and phase I trials revealed profound side effects, such as life-threatening drops in blood pressure and liver toxicity. But now TNF is making a comeback thanks to recent advances...
متن کاملDNA nanotechnology for nanophotonic applications.
DNA nanotechnology has touched the epitome of miniaturization by integrating various nanometer size particles with nanometer precision. This enticing bottom-up approach has employed small DNA tiles, large multi-dimensional polymeric structures or more recently DNA origami to organize nanoparticles of different inorganic materials, small organic molecules or macro-biomolecules like proteins, and...
متن کاملDyNAMiC Workbench: an integrated development environment for dynamic DNA nanotechnology
Dynamic DNA nanotechnology provides a promising avenue for implementing sophisticated assembly processes, mechanical behaviours, sensing and computation at the nanoscale. However, design of these systems is complex and error-prone, because the need to control the kinetic pathway of a system greatly increases the number of design constraints and possible failure modes for the system. Previous to...
