Targeting cancer with peptide aptamers
A major endeavour in cancer chemotherapy is to develop agents that specifically target a biomolecule of interest. There are two main classes of targeting agents: small molecules and biologics. Among biologics (e.g.: antibodies), DNA, RNA but also peptide aptamers are relatively recent agents. Peptide aptamers are seldom described but represent attractive agents that can inhibit a growing panel ...
متن کاملCancer cell targeting using multiple aptamers conjugated on nanorods.
Molecular recognition toward specific cells is a key issue for effective disease, such as cancer, diagnosis and therapy. Although many molecular probes such as aptamers and antibodies can recognize the unique molecular signatures of cancer cells, some of these probes only have relatively weak binding affinities. This results in poor signaling and hinders cell targeting. Here, we use Au-Ag nanor...

متن کاملAptamers: Active Targeting Ligands for Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy
Aptamers, including DNA, RNA and peptide aptamers, are a group of promising recognition units that can specifically bind to target molecules and cells. Due to their excellent specificity and high affinity to targets, aptamers have attracted great attention in various fields in which selective recognition units are required. They have been used in biosensing, drug delivery, disease diagnosis and...
متن کاملNucleic acid aptamers for targeting of shRNA-based cancer therapeutics
Aptamers are nucleic acid ligands which have been validated to bind to epitopes with a specificity similar to that of monoclonal antibodies. Aptamers have been primarily investigated for their direct function in terms of inhibition of protein targets; however, recent evidence gives reason to actively explore aptamers as targeting moieties for delivery of anticancer therapeutics. Many aptamers h...
