Free DNA Nanotechnology Podcast

From a biological perspective, DNA is the language for life. But what may be less widely known is DNA’s potential as a programmable building block at the nanoscale. In this podcast, Hughes discusses DNA’s potential as an engineering material for building structural scaffolds for nanoelectronic devices and biochemical tools for diagnosing disease. With grants from the W.M. Keck Foundation, the National Institutes of Health , the National Science Foundation , and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Hughes and his colleagues in the Nanoscale Materials & Device Research Group are pursuing DNA nanotechnology as a future manufacturing process.

Okay, so if you've read the other postings here, you'd know about the ease with which nanoparticles can enter our system, right through our skin or by being breathed in.
So what the hell is going to happen when these DNA manufactured nanoparticles find their way into our system? Theyr'e gonna love the variety of warm soupy goo under our skin and who knows what they'll start mutating up just 'cos they can.

It's bad enough that with all the toxins we come across in everyday products, things like bleaches, household cleansers, fire-retardants in fabrics, chemicals in fuel, packaging - it's easy enough to scoop up more than the maximum limit. And as we all know the deadliest of all the hundreds of toxic additives in cigarettes - all help make our bodies little cancer factories.

But now we have to look to the possible DNA-nanotechnolgy mash ups that might find our bodies a useful little playground to mess around in.

Is there a regulatory body with sufficient resources and legal clout to make sure the corporations don't put profit before public health?
