The nature of aptamer-target interactions, whether base sequence-specific or structure-specific, are not well-understood. Here, we examine the effect of incubating gold nanoparticle seeds for 7 days with nucleotides, single-stranded DNA or double-stranded DNA sequences.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAubrey Tiernan - Advisor, Anthanassios Sambanis, PhD\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u0022Development of a Pancreatic Substitute Based on Genetically Engineered Intestinal Endocrine Cells\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0022\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EA tissue engineered pancreatic substitute constitutes a promising cell-based insulin therapy to achieve tight glycemic regulation in diabetes patients.
