[ 1 ] - Development of RNA aptamers as molecular probes for HER2+ breast cancer study using cell-SELEX

Objective(s): Development of molecules that specifically recognize cancer cells is one of the major areas in cancer research. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is specifically expressed on the surface of breast cancer cells. HER2 is associated with an aggressive phenotype and poor prognosis. In this study we aimed to isolate RNA aptamers that specifically bind to HER2 overexpressi...

[ 2 ] - آپتامرها، جداسازی، اصلاحات، خصوصیات و کاربردها

As synthetic oligonucleotides with high affinity and selectivity, aptamers have an outstanding potential for medical diagnosis and treatment. This manuscript enquires into the generation, characteristics and applications of aptamers. The role of aptamers in medicine is also discussed. The study shows that aptamers stand as great candidates in medical sciences for development of biosensors and t...

[ 3 ] - Point-of-care detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in water using AuNPs-based aptasensor

Objective(s): Access to safe drinking and irrigation water has always been one of the major human concerns worldwide. Thus, rapid, sensitive, and inexpensive approaches for pathogenic bacteria detection, such as Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EHEC) that can induce important infectious diseases, are highly on demand. Materials and Methods: In ...
