Enzyme-free quantification of exosomal microRNA by the target-triggered assembly of the polymer DNAzyme nanostructure†
Abstract
We herein report an efficient hybridization chain reaction (HCR)- and DNAzyme-based enzyme-free signal amplification for the detection of specific exosomal miRNAs in the culture medium of cancer cells and serum samples from cancer patients via the target-triggered self-assembly of the polymer DNAzyme nanostructure.
