Spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) are a globular form of DNA that enter cells more easily and bind targets more effectively than linear DNA. This structural advantage makes them powerful tools for gene regulation, gene editing, drug delivery, and vaccine development—demonstrating potential even in curing certain deadly skin cancers in clinical trials. SNAs show how changing a therapy’s structure can transform its impact in the body.
