Fighting cancer with DNA origami

Daan Schuurbiers, Director De Proeffabriek

NANO magazine reported on a recent study in nanomedicine that makes use of DNA origami to fight cancer. Researchers from Arizona State University scientists, in collaboration with researchers from the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have successfully programmed nanorobots to shrink tumors by cutting off their blood supply.

See: https://nano-magazine.com/news/2018/2/14/the-cancer-fighting-nanorobots-that-seek-and-destroy-tumors. The research paper was published in Nature Biotechnology in February 2018: https://www.nature.com/articles/nbt.4071.
