This study validates DoriVac, a DNA origami vaccine, as an effective treatment for metastatic melanoma in mouse models, showing reduced tumor nodules and enhanced immune activation when combined with PD-L1 blockade.

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 demonstrates that statin-dye conjugates are selectively taken up by KRAS mutant cancer cells through enhanced macropinocytosis, enabling targeted killing of these cells without affecting KRAS wild-type cells.

The paper quantifies cargo on DNA origami nanoparticles using gel-based and fluorescence-based methods for therapeutic applications.

This study developed a DNA origami-based cancer vaccine that co-delivers antigen and CpG immune adjuvant with an optimal nanospacing for Th1 immune polarization.
