Abstract
Abstract The ability to target nanoparticles to the dysfunctional endothelium may present a new and innovative therapy for cardiovascular disease. In this work, an anti‐inflammatory gene therapy nanoparticle targeted to VCAM‐1, a protein overexpressed by inflamed endothelial cells located within atherosclerotic plaque, is developed. Targeting is accomplished via a peptide‐grafted coating for the nanoparticles. Nanoparticle binding to VCAM‐1 is probed via surface plasmon resonance with imaging to determine kinetics and binding dynamics. Targeted nanoparticles are internalized by transfected inflamed primary endothelial cells more than nontargeted controls (80% vs 30% positive cells) under both static and dynamic flow conditions. The nanoparticles also bind specifically to VCAM‐1+ endothelial cells within atherosclerotic plaque from mouse models in both the aortic sinus and whole aorta. Taken together, this nanoparticle formulation may be an effective and specific strategy for anti‐inflammatory therapy within the context of atherosclerosis.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
