Left‑handed DNA origami tubes double chemotherapy effectiveness
Researchers at the Cancer Center at Illinois demonstrated that left‑handed DNA origami tubes loaded with the chemotherapy drug Daunorubicin kill acute myeloid leukemia cells at more than twice the rate of right‑handed tubes. The tubes are functionalized with aptamers that target the CD117 protein, and their left‑handed geometry promotes rapid internalization.
