Researchers Design Silicon Nanochips as Intracellular Mechanical Drugs

A multidisciplinary team at CSIC has introduced silicon chips 50 nanometres thick, as thin as a thousandth part of a hair, into living cells. These devices allow the study of cell division processes and can even be designed to interfere with the cell cycle, preventing division and causing cell death.

New, Highly Stable Nanostructures can Provide More Effective Cancer Medicine

For millennia, DNA has played a central role in storing each cell's genetic information and consists of strands with a specific sequence of four different building blocks. These DNA strands are copied by the cell at each cell division in an extremely well-orchestrated way, but amazingly, this sophisticated machinery is governed by very simple rules.
