Aptamers have shown a number of potential applications in sensing and therapeutic due to
the high affinity and specificity towards their target molecules. Not all the nucleotides in the …

Rising progesterone (P4) levels in humans due to its overconsumption through hormonal
therapy, food products, or drinking water can lead to many negative health effects. Thus, the …

The authors describe an aptasensor for the detection of the gonadal hormone progesterone
(P4) in aqueous solution. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were coated with a P4-specific …

A competitive fluorescent aptasensor was constructed based on fluorescence resonance
energy transfer (FRET) for determination of 17β-estradiol (E2). Initially, carboxyfluorescein …

There is a pressing need for simple and accurate analytical tools to assess the level of EDCs
in environmental samples. In this work, a simple and highly sensitive competitive lateral flow …

In this paper, we developed a fluorescent aptasensor for 17β-estradiol (E2) determination in
aqueous solution using label-free E2-specific aptamer, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and …

This paper proposes an aptasensor for progesterone (P4) detection in human serum and
urine based on the aggregating behavior of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) controlled by the …

Aptamers are single stranded DNA or RNA ligands which can be selected for different
targets starting from a huge library of molecules containing randomly created sequences …

In this work we report the mapping of the binding site of the only progesterone aptamer
published to date, in an approach referred to as aptatope mapping. By linking the binding …

Aptamers, short synthetic ssDNA or RNA molecules with a specific three-dimensional
structure, are promising recognition elements in biosensor technology. In vitro generation of …
