Title:
BIOLOGICAL BITS AS COMPUTABLE ELEMENTS WITHIN LIVING SYSTEMS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/061257
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are protease-based biological circuits for use in the diagnosis and treatment of disease and disorders characterized by aberrant protease signaling. An exemplary method of treating disease in a subject includes administering to the subject a plurality of therapeutic agent loaded-liposomes, wherein each of the liposomes comprises a different density of peptides surrounding the core and a different dose of the therapeutic agent, wherein the peptides comprise a cleavage site for a protease of interest, and wherein cleavage of the peptides open the liposome and release the therapeutic agent from within the liposome.
