| Abstract |
Aptamers are auspicious nucleic acid ligands for targeting different molecules, such as small molecules, peptides, proteins, or even whole living cells. They are short single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides, which can fold into complex three-dimensional structures and bind selectively their targets. Using the combinatorial chemistry process SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential Enrichment), target specific aptamers can be selected. These aptamers have a variety of application possibilities and can be used as sensors, diagnostic, imaging or therapeutic agents, and in the field of regenerative medicine for tissue engineering. |
