Image: Interlocking DNA bricks create a three-dimensional molecular canvas. Each canvas is composed of many oligonucleotides, or DNA bricks, that have four consecutive eight nucleotide domains. The bricks assemble at right angles to other interlocking bricks, using standard A-T and G-C base pairing (Photo courtesy of Integrated DNA Technologies).

DNA Bricks Have Potential Applications in Several Nanotech and Biotech Fields

Researchers have been exploiting the unique physical properties of DNA in order to develop applications not related to its role in storing genetic information.  More...

Breast Cancer Metastasis Depends on Expression of Leader Cell Protein

Cell biologists have identified a protein that they regard as a potential drug target in a unique class of breast cancer cells that lead the process of metastasis into surrounding tissues.   More...

Pharmacoperone Treatment Restores Proper Function to Misfolded Proteins

A novel class of low molecular weight compounds has been identified that serves as a sort of scaffolding to restore the structure of misfolded proteins and allows the cell to return them to their site of normal activity.  More...

Thrombin Levels Linked to Multiple Sclerosis Progression

Results obtained from experiments that tested a novel molecular probe directed at thrombin suggested that measurement of thrombin activity might be exploited for developing sensitive probes for preclinical detection and monitoring of inflammation and progression of multiple sclerosis.  More...
