Safe and effective vaccines offer the best intervention for disease control. One strategy to maximize vaccine immunogenicity without compromising safety is rationally design molecular complexes that mimic natural structure of immunogenic microbes but disease-causing components. Here we use highly programmable DNA nanostructures as platforms assemble a model antigen CpG adjuvants together into nanoscale with precise control valency spatial arrangement each element. Our results from immunized...

Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most aggressive and lethal solid tumors in human. While efficacious therapeutics, such as emerging chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells chemotherapeutics, have been developed to treat various cancers, their effectiveness GBM treatment has hindered largely by blood-brain barrier blood-brain-tumor barriers. Human neutrophils effectively cross physiological barriers display effector immunity against pathogens but short lifespan resistance genome...

Three-dimensional (3D) cages are one of the most important targets for nanotechnology. Both proteins and DNA have been used as building blocks to create tunable nanoscale a wide range applications, but each molecular type has its own limitations. Here, we report cage constructed from both protein through use covalent protein–DNA conjugates. We modified homotrimeric (KDPG aldolase) with three identical single-stranded handles by functionalizing reactive cysteine residue introduced via...

Optoelectronic performance of metal nanowire networks are dominated by junction microstructure and network configuration. Although printings, such as silver nanowires (AgNWs) or AgNWs/semiconductor oxide bilayer, have great potential to replace traditional ITO, efficient selective nanoscale integration is still challenging owing high cross resistance. Herein, pulsed laser irradiation under controlled conditions used generate local crystalline nanojoining AgNWs without affecting other regions...

Topologically protected magnon surface states are highly desirable as an ideal platform to engineer low-dissipation spintronics devices. However, theoretical prediction of topological magnons in strongly correlated materials proves be challenging because the ab initio density functional theory calculations fail reliably predict magnetic interactions materials. Here, we present a symmetry-based approach, which predicts magnetically ordered crystals, upon applying external perturbations such...
