title: Ag cluster-aptamer hybrid: specifically marking the nucleus of live cells.
abstract: Silver cluster-aptamer hybrids were mineralized via an artificially designed aptamer. The hybrids gave red emission when excited by light, and they successfully targeted the nucleus of live cells. This method is an effective approach to make cell target probes.
