SUMMARY:Profs Present - DNA aptamers: disease diagnosis and targeted drug\n
 delivery
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nABSTRACT\n\nDNA aptamers are single-stranded DNA ol
 igonucleotides that can\nselectively bind to target molecules. They can be
  used for the\ndetection of various metabolites and proteins as disease bi
 omarkers.\nOur lab recently discovered new aptamers that can bind to caffe
 ine\,\nuric acid and lactate\, and converted them to highly sensitive and\
 nselective fluorescent biosensors. In addition\, we have isolated\naptamer
 s that can bind to exosomes\, which could be used for the\nisolation and d
 etection of exosomes as important disease biomarkers.\nFinally\, we have 
 isolated aptamers that can bind to pig cornea and\nestablished an aptamer-
 enhanced ocular drug delivery method to treat\ndry eye diseases.\n
