New paper alert: Our simple DNA origami exoshell can act like cell armor — it can tunably modulate effective stiffness and protect cells from mechanically challenging environments such as osmotic swelling, high fluid shear and centrifugation:.

My high school gave out books at graduation… mostly religious books, but you could request something else if it had more meaning for you. So as a child of Knoxville, I received a copy of Suttree by Cormac McCarthy. I guess it’s now time to reread that wonderful book. Sad day.

If you love DNA, get ready, because now you can print your own flexible and hybridization-capable models of both DNA and PNA! (instructions and links in paper).Modular, Articulated Models of DNA and Peptide Nucleic Acids for Nanotechnology Education
