AMES, Iowa, Feb. 7 (TNSres) -- Iowa State University issued the following news release:
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.
Study of DNA nanoparticles, however, has focused mostly on their architecture, turning the genetic code of life into components for fabricating . . .
