Aptamer-Gated Nanoparticles for Smart Drug Delivery

Aptamer-Gated Nanoparticles for Smart Drug Delivery

Aptamers are functional nucleic acid sequences which can bind specific targets. An artificial combinatorial methodology can identify aptamer sequences for any target molecule, from ions to whole cells. Drug delivery systems seek to increase efficacy and reduce side-effects by concentrating the thera...
