Unlocking the Biodistribution Function of Polymer DNA Origami Nanostructures
Recent advances in the field of nanotechnology have opened up new possibilities for the use of bio-distribution functions in polymer-DNA origami nanostructures. Polymer-DNA origami nanostructures are a type of nano-scale structures composed of short strands of DNA that are folded into complex 3D shapes. These nanostructures have been used for a wide variety of applications, including drug delivery, imaging and sensing, and tissue engineering.
Now, researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a novel method to control the bio-distribution of polymer-DNA origami nanostructures. Using this method, the researchers were able to control the release of the nanostructures from the surface of a cell. This is the first time this kind of control over the bio-distribution of polymer-DNA origami nanostructures has been achieved. The results of this study open up new possibilities for the use of these nanostructures in a wide range of biological applications.
