DNA-based nano-sized systems for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.
DNA is one of the most important components for all living organisms and many species, including humans, use DNA to store and transmit genetic information to new generations. Recent advances in the handling of DNA have made it possible to use DNA as a building block of nano-sized materials with precisely designed architectures. Although various approaches have been proposed to obtain DNA assemb...
