Building a DNA Nanoparticle to be Both Carrier and Medicine

Scientists have been making nanoparticles out of DNA strands for two decades, manipulating the bonds that maintain DNA’s double-helical shape to sculpt self-assembling structures that could someday have jaw-dropping medical applications.Four DNA nanostructures, two butted up against each other, highlighted in this electron microscope image. The structures are a little longer than 50 nanometers. A...
