Abstract
Among the various targeting ligands for drug delivery, aptamers have attracted much interest in recent years because of their smaller size compared to antibodies, ease of modification, and better batch-to-batch consistency. In addition, aptamers can be selected to target both known and even unknown cell surface biomarkers. For drug loading, liposomes are the most successful vehicle and many FDA-approved formulations are based on liposomes. In this paper, aptamer-functionalized liposomes for targeted drug delivery are reviewed. We begin with the description of related aptamers selection, followed by methods to conjugate aptamers to liposomes and the fate of such conjugates in vivo. Then a few examples of applications are reviewed. In addition to intravenous injection for systemic delivery and hoping to achieve accumulation at target sites, for certain applications, it is also possible to have aptamer/liposome conjugates applied directly at the target tissue such as intratumor injection and dropping on the surface of the eye by adhering to the cornea. While previous reviews have focused on cancer therapy, the current review mainly covers other applications in the last four years. Finally, this article discusses potential issues of aptamer targeting and some future research opportunities.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
