Guest molecules ride perfect waves in dna droplets—A breakthrough for synthetic biology

Science Daily: Pharmacology News

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown type of molecular motion inside DNA-based droplets: instead of spreading randomly, guest molecules advance in an organized wave. Using customizable DNA condensates as experimental models, the team showed how molecular waves emerge through precise DNA interactions.

New gene editing tool shows promise for treating diseases with multiple mutations

Science Daily: Pharmacology News

The system can be formulated completely as RNA, dramatically simplifying delivery logistics compared to traditional systems that use both RNA and DNA. Investigators have developed STITCHR, a new gene editing tool that can insert therapeutic genes into specific locations without causing unwanted mutations.
