Nanosensors made from DNA may light path to new cancer tests and drugs

A structure-switching nanosensor made from DNA (blue and purple) detects a specific transcription factor (green). Sensors made from custom DNA molecules could be used to personalize cancer treatments and monitor the quality of stem cells, according to an international team of researchers led by scientists at UC Santa Barbara and the University of Rome Tor Vergata.
