Nils Walter proves pulsing nanomotor constructed from DNA works | | |
|
|
How do you prove, in a laboratory setting studying objects in size just one-thousandth of the diameter of a hair, that something is doing what it is designed to do? The Walter Lab at the University of Michigan is doing just that, through single-molecule fluorescence imaging and tracking, and recently for a tiny nano engine that might one day be a workhorse that routinely shuttles RNA molecules and other particles to cells.
Read the full story.

Midwest Symposium for Oligonucleotide Therapeutics - November 12-13
Free Registration (virtual, in-person)
| | |
|
|
Eli Lilly is sponsoring a Midwest Symposium for Oligonucleotide Therapeutics (Nov 12-13) at the Hilton Indianapolis Hotel and Suites. Registration is free and it is a great opportunity for students (and PIs) to network, learn about RNA therapeutics from leading experts in the field, and share their work on RNA biology, oligonucleotide chemistry, RNA/DNA editing, and/or oligonucleotide delivery.
We have an exciting line up of keynote and invited speakers committed to present at the symposium. These include Stanley Crooke (Ionis, n-Lorem Foundation), Ron Weiss (MIT), Sudhir Agrawal (University of Massachusetts, ARNAY Sciences), Thomas Gaj (University of Illinois), and Craig Duvall (Vanderbilt University).
