DNA 鈥榗ages鈥 may aid drug delivery
Nanoscale 鈥渃ages鈥 made from strands of DNA can encapsulate small-molecule drugs and release them in response to a specific stimulus, 黑料不打烊 University researchers report in a new study.聽
The research, published online Sept. 1 in Nature Chemistry, marks a step toward the use of biological nanostructures to deliver drugs to diseased cells in patients. The findings could also open up new possibilities for designing DNA-based nanomaterials.
