iCeMS Researchers Design DNA-Based Molecule Set for Controlling Cellular Biological Networks

Researchers from the Institute of Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) at Kyoto University have designed a set of DNA-based molecules capable of controlling biological networks in cells. Their study, published in Nature's Scientific Reports, may one day help to reprogram cells and treat human diseases, such as cancer and HIV. The team, led by Namasivayam Ganesh Pandian, a research associate at the institute, seeks to create tools to restore order in cells whose biological programs have gone haywire.
