This SELEX is able to generate DNA aptamers that recognize the cell-surface or intracellular target protein in their native conformation, which shows great potential in cell-specific therapeutics and diagnostic applications [26] [27] [28] . Recently, modified cell-SELEX methods have been developed to select aptamers targeting specific cells like disease state cells and metastatic cells. In the era of personalized medicine, DNA aptamer-based therapeutics and diagnostics are believed to have great potential for extensive application because of their flexibility to specifically bind to any molecule targets. ./cache/cord-310268-8q4tk6fd.txt ./txt/cord-310268-8q4tk6fd.txt
