Abstract

Aptamers as molecular theranostic agents candidate are appropriate tools for diagnostics and therapeutic applications and basic research. They have been verified to have the potential for high affinity, targeting specificity, efficient internalization, and stable delivery of nanosystems carriers such micelles. Modified micelles with targeting moiety such as well-designed aptamers (Apt-micelles) are used as a drug/gene delivery system to enhance their selective delivery in target cells. Hence, Apt-micelles as an active targeting therapeutic system are being used to treat malignant diseases such as many types of cancers in precision medicine. This chapter represents an overview of recent developments of Apt-micelles in targeted cancer therapy. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
