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 ...

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 ...
