DNA LEGO BRICKS. "DNA is a construction material that follows very simple rules. New nanostructures can be easily designed using a computer programme, and the elements fit together like Lego bricks. So we can build more or less whatever we like."" " http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/11/131104123737.htm View in LinkedIn

PROGRAMMABLE GLUE FOR INJURIES to make biocompatable scaffolds to aid healing. "By using DNA glue to guide gel bricks to self-assemble, we’re creating sophisticated programmable architecture, This novel self-assembly method worked for gel cubes as tiny as a piece of silt (30 microns diameter) to as large as a grain of sand (1 millimeter diameter), underscoring the method’s versatility.""

DNA NANOSTRUCTURES. "Researchers have harnessed DNA’s unique properties to build novel three-dimensional (3-D) nanostructures, with potential applications in the electronic devices and medical technologies of the future."" " http://lnkd.in/dkTuK8G View in LinkedIn

NANOBOT SURGEONS. "These doctors would have the ability to cut, stitch, and sample cells without ever having to perform what we consider modern day surgery."" " http://lnkd.in/dTNuUTK View in LinkedIn

FUTURE NANOBOTS. "In the future, it is possible that we will see an all-in-one nanorobot package. These nanobots would not only have the ability to destroy cells but promote the rejuvenation of cells without increasing likelihood of tumors or cancers as well.""

DNA ORIGAMI "is a technique that allows scientist to use DNA molecules as programmable building blocks. The new concept of turning DNA origami into a radical new drug delivery system. In Dr. Bachelet’s recent publication ‘Designing a bio-responsive robot from DNA origami‘ his team was able to take the genome of a virus as the primary building block of his structure and create a cage like scaffolding that has the capability to house life promoting drugs such as antibiotics and chemotherapy medicines.""
