This study demonstrates that DNA origami vaccine nanoparticles enhance both humoral and cellular immune responses against infectious diseases like SARS-CoV-2, HIV, and Ebola.

The paper finds that prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, but not vaccination, reduces subsequent symptomatic endemic coronavirus incidence and is associated with stronger CD8+ T cell responses to non-structural proteins.

The paper introduces CFPU, a microfluidic device for high-throughput automated in vitro circuit characterization, enabling sustained steady-state conditions and dynamic gene circuit analysis.

The paper uses a cell-free system and microfluidic device to study synthetic transcription factor tuning mechanisms and build gene regulatory networks.

The paper introduces a microfluidic device with pneumatic valves for precise reagent injection and mixing in emulsion drops, demonstrating its use in DNA titration experiments for green fluorescent protein synthesis.

This study shows that adding GreA and GreB to a cell-free system boosts E. coli RNA polymerase transcription rates and improves genetic network performance.
