DNA Molecules Used To Assemble Nanoparticles
... lengths of DNA, typically 34-66 bases long, found complementary sequences on other dendrimers and knitted together, forming barbell shaped two-dendrimer complexes with folate on one end and fluorescence on the other end. Folate receptors are over-expressed on the surface of cancer cells, so these dendrimer clust...Scientists identify genetic pathways essential to RNA interference
.... Short, double-stranded pieces of RNA bind to the complementary messenger RNA segments, shutting down gene expression.
