TECHNICAL REPORTS
Aptamer-exosomes as Sensors in Alzheimer Disease Models
Aptamers, from the Latin word ‘aptus’, meaning to fit, are short (20-100 nucleotide) sequences of synthetic DNA, RNA or peptides that can be used for binding to specific target molecules with high sensitivity and biocompatibility. Exosomes have been used to deliver ATP-sensing DNA aptamers in a model of Alzheimer disease.
Shown to cross the BBB, exosomes are being investigated as a nanocarrier for CNS therapeutics.
A recent research paper from Yi Lu’s group at the University of Texas looked into combing aptamers
and exosomes as a means to deliver ATP binding DNA aptamers in a BBB model.
Thank You!
The MJS BioLynx Team
