Nucleic-acid aptamers have the molecular recognition properties of antibodies, and can be
isolated robotically for high-throughput applications in diagnostics, research and …

Aptamers are in vitro selected DNA or RNA molecules that are capable of binding a wide
range of nucleic and non-nucleic acid molecules with high affinity and specificity. They have …

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the major cause of progressive liver disease such as chronic
hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Previously, we reported that a 29 …

Appropriate diagnosis is the key factor for treatment of viral diseases. Time is the most
important factor in rapidly developing and epidemiologically dangerous diseases, such as …

Viral infections cause a host of fatal diseases and seriously affect every form of life from
bacteria to humans. Although most viral infections can receive appropriate treatment thereby …

Abstract We identified 1113 articles (103 reviews, 1010 primary research articles) published
in 2005 that describe experiments performed using commercially available optical …

The entire human population is at risk of infectious diseases worldwide. Thus far, the
diagnosis and treatment of human infectious diseases at the molecular and nanoscale …

Nucleic acid aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules selected in vitro that can
bind to a broad range of targets with high affinity and specificity. As promising alternatives to …

Viruses replicate inside the cells of an organism and continuously evolve to contend with an
ever-changing environment. Many life-threatening diseases, such as AIDS, SARS, hepatitis …

Nanopores are single-molecule sensors that show exceptional promise as a biomolecular
analysis tool by enabling label-free detection of small amounts of sample. In this paper, we …
