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

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 ...

Origami is collaborating with Ipsen to develop molecules designed to remove or correct abnormal proteins in neurodegenerative diseases.

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

Just as a misshapen key can't open a lock, the proteins in our cells need to have the correct 3D shape to function properly. And defects in a protein's structure can cause diseases. Proteins are ...

Broadly neutralizing antibodies, or bnAbs, are a long‑standing goal of HIV vaccine research because they can disable many strains of the virus at once.

(Nanowerk News) With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality ...
