This document is a summary of an editorial titled "Aptamers: Functional-Structural Studies and Biomedical Applications 2.0" published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. The editorial discusses the application of aptamers, which are oligonucleotide molecules, in various fields such as food chemistry, medicine, drug delivery, and infection monitoring. Aptamers have the ability to recognize and bind to specific target molecules with high affinity and specificity. The editorial highlights examples of aptamer modifications and variations that improve their binding affinities and functions. It also discusses the use of aptamers in the development of biosensors for the detection of toxins, bacteria, viruses, and other analytes. The editorial concludes by emphasizing the potential of aptamers in addressing scientific challenges in different disciplines. The summary is written in a culturally sensitive and respectful manner, providing an objective overview of the editorial's content. [Extracted from the article]
