Overview of aptamer probes application for cell tracking. Aptamers can be attached to therapeutic cells ex-vivo, to track their bio-distribution, tropism and functions (e.g. differentiation for stem cell) following their implantation. Additionally, aptamer conjugates can be systemically introduced to specifically locate and longitudinally monitor diseased cells (e.g. metastatic cancer cells).
