Abstract
In the dynamic landscape of biomedical research, therapeutic RNA aptamers have recently come to the forefront, showing significant potential in diagnostics and therapeutics. This review aims to raise awareness of aptamer technology within the scientific community by exploring the progress made in the therapeutic field, from the lessons learned in research to the future opportunities and impact that these innovative molecules are increasingly having on society to meet current health needs, i.e. targeted and personalized therapies.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Aspects of Medicine is a review journal that serves as an official publication of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. It caters to physicians and biomedical scientists and aims to bridge the gap between these two fields. The journal encourages practicing clinical scientists to contribute by providing extended reviews on the molecular aspects of a specific medical field. These articles are written in a way that appeals to both doctors who may struggle with basic science and basic scientists who may have limited awareness of clinical practice issues. The journal covers a wide range of medical topics to showcase the molecular insights gained from basic science and highlight the challenging problems that medicine presents to the scientific community.
