  Aptamers have many applications in the medical field. It is useful in detecting, regulating, and controlling the function of cells and organisms. They can be used for gene therapy, targeted evolution and transcriptional regulation, life sciences, neuroscience, and even drug design and development. Aptamers can be activated by appropriate signals. They are naturally present in most living systems. They are proteins that have been discovered to regulate the gene expression of genes in response to specific stimuli. Gene therapy applications of aptamers and related technologies are on the rise. Recent studies have revealed that aptamers can serve as a genetic drug delivery system to treat serious diseases like leukemia and cancer. There are several types of aptamers. There are protein complexes. These complexes are assembled from a series of amino acid residues which are each encoded by a regulatory region of transcription. The complexes are then translated into transcripts. In the cas
