New method of mass-producing high-quality DNA molecules | KurzweilAI | Longevity science | Scoop.it

A new method of manufacturing short, single-stranded DNA molecules can solve many of the problems associated with current production methods.

 

The new method can be of value to development of drugs consisting of DNA fragments and to DNA nanotechnology research.

 

The novel technique for manufacturing short, single-stranded DNA molecules — or oligonucleotides — has been developed by researchers at Karolinska Institute in Sweden and Harvard University.

Delivering drugs via nanoparticles to target mitochondria | KurzweilAI

Delivering drugs via nanoparticles to target mitochondria | KurzweilAI | Longevity science | Scoop.it

Researchers at the University of Georgia have refined the nanoparticle drug delivery process further by using nanoparticles to deliver drugs to a specific organelle within cells.

 

By targeting mitochondria, “the powerhouse of cells,” the researchers increased the effectiveness of mitochondria-acting therapeutics used to treat cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and obesity in studies conducted with cultured cells.
