Jeong plans to continue to work on achieving an industrial-scale synthesis of nucleic acid-polymer hybrids and effectively apply them to real disease models. High-throughput photo-polymerization ...

Macromolecules - proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides - are formed by the polymerization of hundreds of their low-molecular-weight precursors - amino acids, nucleotides, and simple sugars.

Specifically, our group is focusing on developing new materials and photopolymerization mechanisms for a variety of applications including: Sequence-Controlled Polymerization of "Click" Nucleic Acids ...

An innovative programmable tool for targeting nucleic acids has been created, utilizing a prokaryotic immune defense system—and it is not CRISPR-Cas. Russian Academy of Sciences researchers have ...

Advanced smart nanoparticles enhance the delivery of nucleic acid therapeutics to cancer cells, addressing many of the barriers that have hindered their clinical applications, according to a ...

Nucleic acids are essential for all forms of life, and it is found in all cells. Nucleic acids come in two natural forms called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Image Credit ...

A researcher is developing a patent-pending platform technology called LENN that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid (NA)-based therapies to targeted cancer cells.
