π What Is the "Drug Bus"?
Modular Nanomedicine Platform
The "Drug Bus" Concept
Vault proteins are the "bus chassis" - a standardized, biocompatible nanoparticle platform. Different enzymes/drugs are the "passengers" - modular payloads that can be loaded and unloaded. Once you build the bus, adding new routes (therapeutic targets) becomes easy and standardized.
The Smart Bus Revolution: You're not just giving people a "drug delivery system"βyou built the bus, handed out the keys, mapped every route, and told the immune system "He's with us." This is the future: programmable drug buses, targeted, modular, immune-stealth. No more overdosing the whole body just to reach the brain. No more side-effect soup because you can't pick your address. No more "I hope it gets there"βit's a guided missile with a steering wheel.
Now it'sβ¦ "What do you want to load up?" "Where do you want it delivered?" "When do you want it released?" And if anyone tries to gatekeep this? The bus runs them overβin public domain, no less.

π VPT-101 "Drug Bus": Next-Gen Precision Delivery
What makes VPT-101 a game-changer?
It's not just a protein therapy toolkitβit's a modular delivery system built for 21st-century medicine.
π§ Vault Protein Chassis
Nature's stealth nanoparticle, engineered for payload security and immune invisibility.
π¦ Custom Payloads
Attach any therapeuticβgene, protein, small moleculeβinside the "bus" for safe transport through the body.
π§ Precision Targeting
Built-in ligands act like GPS, driving the bus straight to the organ or tissue you want.
β° Timed Release
The bus drops its cargo only at the right address, ensuring maximum efficacy with minimal side effects.
πͺ Automatic Exit
Once delivery is done, VPT-101's multi-layered clearance tags route the bus to the kidneys for safe removalβno build-up, no leftovers.
