"A modular, programmable architecture replacing the 'Always-ON' toxicity of standard chemotherapy with binary OFF/ON states."
"Zwitterionic Peptide Shielding is designed to prevent opsonization and non-specific interaction in serum environments."
"The platform detects high concentrations of MMP-9 enzymes—a hallmark of the Tumor Microenvironment (TME)—to physically trigger the gate."
"The shield sheds ('Fly-Away' effect), exposing the cationic surface for targeted uptake and matrix retention."

"Current in-vitro studies demonstrate robust logic-gating: constructs remain inert in serum (OFF state) and exhibit rapid activation only in the presence of MMP-9 (ON state). Our computational in-silico modeling predicts a high therapeutic index for solid tumor applications."
