Researchers have developed a new approach to delivering DNA into cells using spikey silica nanoparticles. These nanoparticles transport the genetic cargo across the cell wall while protecting it from degradation.
Trau group researchers are using nanotechnology for fabrication-free disease biomarker detection within a fluidic droplet. The “lab-in-a-drop” system can be extremely useful for the detection of disease nucleic acid biomarkers.
