Applications of nucleic acid aptamers in cancer diagnostics from the laboratory to the clinic / Enamala Manoj Kumar, Supraja Enamala, Rishibha Dixit, S.M. Faheem, Payal B. Joshi and Murthy Chavali; Clinicians, researchers, scientists in point-of-care diagnostics and technologies; Also available in print N2 - The aptasensor-based point-of-care testing devices offer high sensitivity and specificity They are cost-effective, provide rapid detection, and are stable in an adverse environment, making them suitable tools for on-site detection of cancer biomarkers in medical and clinical settings. The book emphasizes the target-specific design, functionalization, and synthesis of aptamers for the fabrication of aptamer-based biosensors which can be employed for cancer biomarkers detection. This book will provide the reader with a timely update on the recent advances in aptamers-based point-of-care biosensors for cancer diagnostics. It will also demonstrate the advantages of aptamers such as low cost, ease of design, synthesis, and modification, hence can be employed as a good alternative to antibody-based biosensors. It will also shed light on nanostructured materials and their significance for the construction of point-of-care aptasensors. Furthermore, it will describe in detail the integration of a point-of-care aptasensors-based sensing platform integrated with a wireless platform (internet of medical things) for intelligent disease management.
