Researchers from the Eindhoven University of Technology have developed the 1st “DNA computer” that can detect several antibodies in the blood and perform calculations based on what it detects. The team published their work in Nature Communications and said that it’s an important step towards developing smart drugs that allow for more targeted and controlled medication delivery.
The researchers described their DNA computer as a security system that can open a door depending on the person standing in front of it. In other words, the computer can recognize the antibodies in a person’s blood and determine whether or not to release a medication.
