Synthetic and inexpensive to produce, aptamers are attractive alternatives to antibodies for biomedical diagnostics and therapeutics. When new aptamer binders are needed, for example, to detect a new ...
We have all heard of antibodies – proteins produced by our bodies to bind to viruses or bacteria, marking them for elimination by the immune system. But not all of us are familiar with aptamers: short ...
The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
A method for engineering ultra-selective aptamers for biomedical diagnostics and treatments has been developed. We have all heard of antibodies – proteins produced by our bodies to bind to viruses or ...
