Abstract
Structured aptamers are nucleic acid systems produced using DNA nano self-assembly technology and can be constructed in a programmable manner. These aptamers are widely used in biomedical fields because of their low biological toxicity, weak immunogenicity, good cytocompatibility and biocompatibility, stability, and facile modification ability. Additionally, structured aptamers achieve nano precision in spatial configuration and can be directly internalized into targets without the assistance of transfection reagents. They exhibit higher stability, rigidity, and binding efficiency than aptamers alone. Therefore, structured aptamers have been universally applied in the tumor-targeting field and have emerged as a current research hotspot. Here, we introduce the assembly principle, assembly methods, and characterization methods of structured aptamers. Moreover, the application status of structured aptamers for tumor detection and targeted therapy is summarized to provide new research directions for early diagnosis and drug research in the field of oncology.
