#Nanotechnology: #DNA origami with cargo function
https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1058402 #science #nanoworld #DNAorigami
scientists from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed tiny robots, or nanorobots, capable of specifically targeting and killing cancer cells. These nanorobots activate the cells' 'death receptors' to help shrink tumors.

I love a bit of #DNAnanotechnology and have covered that field for >25 years now but I would be worried about using it in a biological context where sequences might discover unintended meaning. #science
Ein Team um @hendrik_dietz, @cees_dekker & @aksimentievlab bastelt aus #DNAOrigami eine biologische #Nano-Turbine, die wie ein Motorprotein elektrochemische Energie in mechanische Arbeit umwandelt …

Die Münchner von Plectonic Biotech wollen #Krebszellen mit #DNAOrigami an den Kragen. Zuerst mussten die „tollkühnen Physiker“ aber lernen, mit #Zellen zu arbeiten. Wie das lief und was dabei herauskam, erzählt Tobias Ludwig: 👉 https://www.laborjournal.de/editorials/2665.php
Our team is hiring ! We are looking for three postdoctoral researchers in the field of atomic force microscopy #AFM, single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy (#smFRET) and #DNAorigami.

Please spread the info !
I came across this #microscopy paper. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-022-01519-4
"By blue-shifting the #STED beam and separating #fluorophores by on/off switching, individual fluorophores bound to a #DNA strand are localized with σ = 4.7 Å, corresponding to a fraction of the fluorophore size, with only 2,000 detected #photons ."
This image showing resolution below the size of the fluorophore leaves me speechless.
The paper features images of #DNAorigami, #NuclearPores, synaptic #Vesicles, #ECM (#laminin) and #vilmentin
