| Abstract | This award to Iowa State University is supporting research that will design, build and test a nanosized container made using a technique called DNA origami. This nanosized container can release molecules in response to small forces exerted within tissues. Forces play an important role in biology. During tissue development and disease, cells exert forces on the extracellular matrix (ECM), the protein web that surrounds cells. These forces both create tissue structure and communicate information t |
