Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA strands carry a negative charge, and they do not cross that wall easily.
Scientists developed a charge-free polymer-DNA complex that boosts cellular DNA uptake 14-fold in mice, avoiding the harmful inflammation caused by current methods.

Scientists debut breakthrough molecule that sneaks DNA straight into living cells
A team led by Professor Shoichiro Asayama at Tokyo Metropolitan University has synthesized a charge-free molecule designed to sneak plasmid DNA into living cells via hydrogen bonding, dramatically ...
Thymine modified polymer for delivering DNA into cells. A thymine modified compound, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), is bound to DNA through an annealing process, then delivered by intramuscular ...
Researchers have made DNA storage rewritable, overcoming one of its biggest limitations. The breakthrough could turn DNA into a practical alternative to today’s energy-hungry data centers. The post ...
DNA strands on tiny beads hide and reveal encrypted messages through programmable fluorescence patterns read by flow cytometry.
The authors used a combination of super-resolution imaging techniques and liquid pressure flow to fine-tune the stretch ratio of a DNA molecule, improving the lateral resolution of side-by-side ...
