title: A microRNA-activated molecular machine for non-enzymatic target recycling amplification detection of microRNA from cancer cells.
abstract: The presence of the microRNA-141 target molecules activates the DNA molecular machine powered by the DNA fuel strands, leading to non-enzymatic target cyclic reuse of microRNA-141 and significantly amplified fluorescent signals for sensitive monitoring of microRNA-141 from low numbers of human prostate cancer cells.
