DNA origami, a fascinating technology that uses algorithms to design self-assembling 2- and 3D nanostructures using DNA helices, has added a new member to its growing catalog: multilayered ...

DNA origami is a technique used for the nanoscale folding of DNA to develop two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) shapes at a nanoscale range. No bigger than a virus, each of these ...

A new vaccine design uses folded DNA to steer the immune system toward producing the rare immune cells needed to make protective antibodies against HIV.

DNA origami sounds like science fiction, but for HIV vaccine researchers it is becoming a practical design tool. By folding strands of DNA into tiny three-dimensional scaffolds, scientists can arrange ...

Similarly to the artistic technique of folding paper into ornate shapes, DNA origami is a self-assembling technique of precisely folding single-stranded DNA scaffolds into well-defined nanostructures.

One of the biggest hurdles in developing an HIV vaccine is coaxing the body to produce the right kind of immune cells and ...
