DNA nanoactuators can be designed to expand and contract by harnessing strand exchange reactions among DNA strands and can be used to drive shape changes in films ().To demonstrate such ...

By demonstrating how the shape of DNA can affect insulin gene function, already known to be critical in diabetes, they hope their findings could guide future research into diabetes treatment.

The shape of DNA can be changed with a range of triggers including copper and oxygen - according to new research from the University of East Anglia. The structure of DNA is widely accepted to ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

Adding water enables DNA-interconnected crystals to bounce back to original shape after damage and deformation Oct 17, 2022 Win Reynolds Northwestern University researchers have uncovered a previously ...

The structure of DNA is widely accepted to exist as a double helix, but different DNA structures also exist. New research points to a range of triggers that can manipulate its shape.

The discovery of DNA as a double helix is a hallowed story of scientific triumph. ... For the first time ever, scientists have just discovered a new shape of DNA lurking inside human cells.

This means that the more anti-junctions you can pack into a DNA nanomachine, the more shape-shifting ability the nanomachine will have. Second, when an anti-junction shape-shifts, its neighbouring ...

Johns Hopkins engineers have developed gel strips that change shape when given chemical instructions written in DNA code. These "gel automata," measuring just centimeters, can grow or shrink ...

The shape of your brain may say a lot about the Neanderthal in you. New research has found that modern humans carrying certain genetic fragments from our closest extinct relatives may have more ...
