Aptamer Functionalized Hydrogel Dressings for Post‐Surgery Tumor Recurrence Inhibition and Tissue Reconstruction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Post‐surgical tumor therapy struggles with recurrence and inefficient healing. Anti‐tumor DNA aptamer functionalized gelatin hydrogels, Apt‐GelMA, simultaneously address both issues by suppressing tumor regrowth via targeted tumor cell inhibition and enhancing wound healing through improved cell adhesion and migration. Their biocompatibility, stability,
