A model demonstrates that people who eventually succeed and those who do not may initially appear similar, but are characterized by fundamentally distinct failure dynamics in terms of the efficiency and quality of each subsequent attempt to succeed.
A DNA robotic switch with regulated autonomous display of cytotoxic ligand nanopatterns
Here the authors present a pH-sensitive DNA origami nanoswitch that hides ligands for death receptors and displays them as a cytotoxic hexagonal pattern in acidic tumour microenvironments. This reduces tumour growth in a murine model of breast cancer with minimal on-target, off-tumour toxicity.
