Aptasensors have emerged as pivotal tools, leveraging aptamers as biorecognition elements to transduce the specificity of aptamer-target interactions into quantifiable signals for analytical applications, thereby facilitating the meticulous detection of biotoxins. When integrated with readily portable devices such as lateral flow assays (LFAs), personal glucose meters (PGMs), smartphones, and various meters measuring parameters like pH and pressure, aptasensors have significantly advanced the field of biotoxin monitoring. These commercially available devices enable precise, in situ, and real-time analysis, offering great potential for portable biotoxin detection in food and environmental matrices.

For some VTE patients, symptoms can last longer and have a higher than average risk of serious complications; in contrast, others may experience complications arising from insufficient therapies. People with VTE are initially treated with anticoagulants to prevent conditions such as stroke and to reduce the recurrence of VTE. However, thrombolytic therapy is used for people with pulmonary embolism (PE) experiencing low blood pressure or in severe cases of DVT. New drugs are under development, with the aim to ensure they are safe and effective, and may provide an additional option for the treatment of VTE. In this review, we summarize all ongoing trials evaluating anticoagulant interventions in VTE listed in clinicaltrials.gov, clarifying their underlying mechanisms and evaluating whether they prevent the progression of DVT to PE and recurrence of thrombosis. Moreover, this review summarizes the available evidence that supports the use of antiplatelet therapy for VTE.
