We describe a simple and robust method to construct complex three-dimensional (3D)
structures by using short synthetic DNA strands that we call “DNA bricks.” In one-step annealing …

Yin Yang 1 (YY1) is a transcription factor that plays an essential role in development. However,
the full spectrum of YY1's functions and mechanism of action remains unclear. We find …

Programmed self-assembly of strands of nucleic acid has proved highly effective for creating
a wide range of structures with desired shapes 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , …

Background Public health is a priority for the Chinese Government. Evidence-based decision
making for health at the province level in China, which is home to a fifth of the global …

Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is a major global health concern.
Quantitative estimates of attributable mortality are based on disease-specific hazard ratio models …

In nature, self-assembling and disassembling complexes of proteins and nucleic acids bound
to a variety of ligands perform intricate and diverse dynamic functions. In contrast, attempts …

Background China has experienced a remarkable epidemiological and demographic transition
during the past three decades. Far less is known about this transition at the subnational …

Atomically ordered intermetallic nanoparticles are promising for catalytic applications but
are difficult to produce because the high-temperature annealing required for atom ordering …

Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are widely used to construct nanometre-scale structures with
ever increasing complexity 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , with possible …

Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy is a powerful tool for biological research, but
obtaining multiplexed images for a large number of distinct target species remains challenging. …
