Researchers at Mayo Clinic developed a new method using aptamers to label and potentially target senescent cells, which are linked to aging and diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. This innovative approach, sparked by a student collaboration, could lead to better detection and treatment of age-related conditions in humans.
Mayo Clinic researchers developed a new method using DNA-based aptamers to identify 'zombie' senescent cells linked to aging and diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's, potentially paving the way for targeted therapies.
Researchers have created a 3D architecture of a DNA mimic of green fluorescent protein (GFP) using lettuce RNA aptamers. The mimic, called Lettuce–DFHBI-1T, has a complex structure that includes a four-way junction and a G-quadruplex. The structure could be used to develop new RNA aptamers for imaging and detecting RNA in living cells.
