The Biodistribution and Role of Polymer-DNA Origami Nanostructures in Living Systems
In a recent Scientific Reports study, Noah Joseph and a team of biotechnology and nanoscience researchers in Israel detailed the development of a nanoscale agent. This agent, formed from a hybrid of coupled polymer-DNA origami, showcases stability in serum and exhibits slow diffusion through tissues. The research aims to provide a solution for the desired feature of regulating the biodistribution of therapeutics, which can effectively limit the side effects associated with many drugs.
