Bioengineers and chemists design fluorescent 3D printed structures with potential medical applications
The ring-shaped “nanohoops” emit light of different colors depending on their structure. Credit: University of Oregon Researchers at the University of Oregon have mixed fluorescent ring-shaped molecules into a new 3D printing process, using the simple process of mixing eggs and flour to make pancakes. The result is complex light-emitting structures that support the development of new classes of biomedical…

DNA origami and fluorescent probes can precisely release molecular cargo
A concept for tracking transformation reactions of reconfigurable DNA origami array structures at the single molecule level in real time. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-51721-y Developing dynamic systems that respond to molecular signals is becoming increasingly important in nanotechnology, and DNA origami, a technique for programming DNA to create functional nanostructures, is playing a key role in these efforts.…
