🚨 Paper alert! What if you could eavesdrop on a neuron's electrical dynamics without ever breaking in? Our new study uses DNA origami tiles that self-insert into live neuronal membranes, even dendrites, to form stable ion channels. In fact, even repeated intracellular access from the same cell 🧬⚡
Self-inserting DNA origami tiles form stable nanopores across live neuronal membranes, enabling intracellular-like voltage recordings, small-molecule delivery and access to hard-to-reach dendrites wit...
