TLDR DNA nanostructures could be a cost-effective way to deliver cancer drugs with fewer side effects.
The study explored the potential of DNA origami nanostructures for targeted delivery of anti-cancer drugs, aiming to reduce side effects like hair loss by minimizing exposure to healthy cells. It concluded that using DNA nanostructures could be more cost-effective than traditional chemotherapy, with financial feasibility not being a major barrier. Instead, the challenges were primarily technical, regulatory, and ethical.
