Speedy delivery: A self-assembled bifunctional unit incorporates a DNA aptamer for target recognition (see picture, green helix) and a G-quadruplex for drug loading. The modified DNA selectively delivered a photosensitizer (red bars) to cancer cells; irradiation with visible light generated high toxicity.
