lüll Molecular diagnostic and drug delivery agents based on aptamer-nanomaterial conjugates Lee JH; Yigit MV; Mazumdar D; Lu YAdv Drug Deliv Rev 2010[Apr]; 62 (6): 592-605Recent progress in an emerging area of designing aptamer and nanomaterial conjugates as molecular diagnostic and drug delivery agents in biomedical applications is summarized. Aptamers specific for a wide range of targets are first introduced and compared to antibodies. Methods of integrating these aptamers with a variety of nanomaterials, such as gold nanoparticles, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, each with unique optical, magnetic, and electrochemical properties, are reviewed. Applications of these systems as fluorescent, colorimetric, magnetic resonance imaging, and electrochemical sensors in medical diagnostics are given, along with new applications as smart drug delivery agents.|*Aptamers, Nucleotide/chemistry/metabolism[MESH]|*Drug Delivery Systems[MESH]|*Molecular Diagnostic Techniques[MESH]|*Nanostructures/chemistry[MESH]|*SELEX Aptamer Technique[MESH]|Biosensing Techniques[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Metal Nanoparticles[MESH]|Nanotechnology[MESH]|Surface-Active Agents[MESH] |
