Selection of aptamers for mature white adipocytes by cell SELEX using flow cytometry.
<h4>Background</h4>Adipose tissue, mainly composed of adipocytes, plays an important role in metabolism by regulating energy homeostasis. Obesity is primarily caused by an abundance of adipose tissue. Therefore, specific targeting of adipose tissue is critical during the treatment of obe...
