An Ocular Surface‐Targeting Nucleic Acid Hydrogel for Efficient Dry Eye Disease Treatment

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
A self‐assembled nucleic acid hydrogel modified with mucin‐1 (MUC1) aptamer is developed, which can actively target the mucin layer on the ocular surface and significantly extend its retention time after distillation. Inside the hydrogel, therapeutic siRNA is embedded and can effectively silence the inflammation gene expression, subsequently restoring ...
