Pleased to share a newly published chapter:
šŸ“– "Aptamers and RNA Origami: New Tools for Drug Delivery and Therapeutics"
featured in Nucleic Acid Nanotechnology for Therapeutics (Springer Nature, 2023).

This chapter captures the evolution from DNA nanotechnology to the cutting-edge field of RNA origami.
It highlights how programmable nucleic acid nanostructures have advanced beyond structural elegance to serve as functional platforms for precision drug delivery and responsive therapeutics.

Through the integration of aptamers with RNA origami scaffolds, this work emphasizes the creation of smart therapeutic systems — offering high specificity, reversible control, and enhanced stability.
These foundational innovations support the development of Helixomer's RNA origami platform, aimed at unleashing the next generation of aptamer-based therapeutics for transformative patient outcomes.
