(Nanowerk News) With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality ...

Just as a misshapen key can't open a lock, the proteins in our cells need to have the correct 3D shape to function properly. And defects in a protein's structure can cause diseases. Proteins are ...

This brainless blob folds itself like living origami using a trick we’ve never seen before
We usually assume that tissue folding (the process that creates organs, embryos, and the deep ridges of the human brain) ...
In Alzheimer's, brain cells die too soon. In cancer, dangerous cells don't die soon enough. That's because both diseases alter the way cells decide when to end their lives, a process called programmed ...
Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of "DNA origami". The system they developed may facilitate the ...
The emerging field of origami-inspired mechanical metamaterials and structures harnesses the age-old art of paper folding to achieve sophisticated, reconfigurable designs with applications ranging ...
