DNA-Robotics is an Innovative Training Network (GA no. 765703) under the European Commission’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions H2020. The school officially started on January 1 2018 and will run for 4 years. The DNA-Based Modular Robotics (DNA-Robotics) school is in the process of hiring 15 early stage researchers to subsequently take the first steps to scale advanced robotic behavior to the molecular scale for future medical and technological applications.
DNA origami as a potential anti-cancer drug
In this article published in ACS NANO, a DNA origami structure is shown capable of clustering DR5. When this cluster inducing origami is added to cancer cells, it is shown to cause apoptosis and cell death. As much as 80%…
