DNA Bricks Advancing DNA Nanotech from Mega to GigaDalton Scale
Researchers have developed ways by which DNA strands can self-assemble into material for creating a nanoscale structure DNA is the biomolecule which stores the genetic information and helps in transmitting them in biological systems. Almost every cell contains DNA. DNA Nanotechnology is the branch of science in which DNA is used as a building material for making an artificial nucleic…

Antibiotics May Decrease The Ability of Immune Cells to Kill Bacteria
Antibiotics are the powerful antimicrobial drug that kills or inhibit bacteria causing infection. Although antibiotics are designed to kill infection-causing bacteria, they also kill good bacteria sometimes while fighting off a pathogen. During a new study in the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, MIT and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, researchers found out that during antibiotic treatment…
