A lateral flow assay strip for simultaneous detection of miRNA and exosomes in liver cancer

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Jul 16;60(58):7491-7494. doi: 10.1039/d4cc02559h.

Abstract

By employing an aptamer as the bridge and combining catalytic hairpin assembly with the Au aggregation amplification effect, a lateral flow assay (LFA) is designed for simultaneous detection of liver cancer-associated miRNA and exosomes. The LFA can differentiate between liver cancer patients and healthy individuals with simple operation and high accuracy.
