Inspired by the way viruses attach to cells, EPFL scientists have developed a method for engineering ultra-selective aptamers. The synthetic molecules bind to targets like viral spike proteins, making them useful for biomedical diagnostics and treatments Peer-Reviewed Publication Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne FacebookXLinkedInWeChatBlueskyMessageWhatsAppEmail image: Illustration of the Multivalent Evolved DNA-based SUpramolecular Assemblies (MEDUSA), shown
