Aptamers are oligonucleotides that can bind their target ligands with high affinity. The use of nanomaterials that are bioconjugated with aptamers for selective and sensitive detection of analytes such as small molecules, metal ions, proteins, and cells has been demonstrated. This review focuses on recent progress in the development of biosensors by integrating functional aptamers with different types of nanomaterials, including quantum dots, magnetic nanoparticles (NPs), metallic NPs, and carbon nanotubes. Colorimetry, fluorescence, electrochemistry, surface plasmon resonance, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, and magnetic resonance imaging are common detection modes for a broad range of analytes with high sensitivity and selectivity when using aptamer bioconjugated nanomaterials (Apt-NMs). We highlight the important roles that the size and concentration of nanomaterials, the secondary structure and density of aptamers, and the multivalent interactions play in determining the specificity and sensitivity of the nanosensors towards analytes. Advantages and disadvantages of the Apt-NMs for bioapplications are focused.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s91210356","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,22]],"date-time":"2009-12-22T10:56:36Z","timestamp":1261479396000},"page":"10356-10388","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":133,"title":["Aptamer-Functionalized Nano-Biosensors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6297-7883","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tai-Chia","family":"Chiu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Science, National Taitung University, 684, Section 1, Chunghua Road, Taitung, 95002, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chih-Ching","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology, National Taiwan Ocean University, 2 Beining Road, Keelung, 20224, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"191","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bioeng.2007.03.003","article-title":"Aptamers-based assays for diagnostics, environmental and food analysis","volume":"24","author":"Tombelli","year":"2007","journal-title":"Biomol.
