Construction of Aptamer-Functionalized DNA Hydrogels for Effective Inhibition of Shiga Toxin II Toxicity

Bacterial infections have been seriously endangering public health and life, making it imperative to explore novel anti-infection strategies for their control. Herein, we constructed a DNA hydrogel encoded with aptamers (Apt-hydrogel) to inhibit Shiga toxin II (Stx2) toxicity, thereby alleviating
