Researchers have built DNA-based nanodevices that can identify cancer cells, latch onto them, and deliver drugs or ...

A tiny, four-fingered 'hand' folded from a single piece of DNA can pick up the virus that causes COVID-19 for highly sensitive rapid detection and can even block viral particles from entering cells to ...

DNA nanopyramids slip through the brain's protective barrier and release cancer drugs only when they detect the acidic environment surrounding a tumor. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Brain tumors are ...

Is the emerging field of nanomedicine a breathtaking technological revolution that promises remarkable new ways of diagnosing and treating diseases? Or does it portend the release of dangerous ...

Illinois researchers developed a nanorobotic hand made of DNA that can grab viruses for detection or inhibition. In this artist’s rendering, three “NanoGripper” hands wrap around a COVID-19 virus.
