Improved DNA tech could replace antibodies in detecting and treating diseases

The researchers addressed the two key issues with DNA aptamers, increasing their ability to bind to ...

A team of researchers from the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) has worked to develop an efficient technology that uses DNA to detect and treat infectious diseases. Improving upon an existing method, the research makes use of single-stranded DNA molecules called aptamers, and it could be used to treat cancer.
