Proof of concept for inhibiting metastasis: circulating tumor cell-triggered localized release of anticancer agent via a structure-switching aptamer

Abstract

Existing drug delivery systems were not suitable for killing cells in the circulatory system specifically. Herein, we developed a novel localized drug delivery strategy, in which the release of anticancer agents was specifically triggered by circulating tumor cells. Meanwhile, damage to non-target cells was avoided.
