A Biochemical Logic Approach to Biomarker-Activated Drug Release [PDF]
The present study aims at integrating drug-releasing materials with signal-processing biocomputing systems. Enzymes alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST)---biomarkers for liver injury---were logically processed by a biocatalytic cascade realizing Boolean AND gate. Citrate produced in the system was used to trigger a drug-mimicking

Quantitative Kinetic Models from Intravital Microcopy: A Case Study Using Hepatic Transport [PDF]
The liver performs critical physiological functions, including metabolizing and removing substances, such as toxins and drugs, from the bloodstream. Hepatotoxicity itself is intimately linked to abnormal hepatic transport and hepatotoxicity remains the primary reason drugs in development fail and approved drugs are withdrawn from the market.
