Researchers have investigated how microbubbles tiny gas bubbles can deliver drugs into cells in a targeted manner using ultrasound. For the first time, they have visualized how tiny cyclic microjets ...

In most cases, the targeted microbubble contrast agents (MCAs) are fitted with a high-affinity targeting ligand. After the MCAs are adhered to the target, they begin to improve the acoustic signal ...

Microbubbles are small, gas-filled bubbles, typically between 0.5µm and 10µm in diameter, that are widely used as contrast agents in medical imaging and as carriers ...

Cancer treatment has undergone a revolution in recent years, with many innovative therapies coming onto the market. This is particularly true for cancer therapies that use a person’s immune system to ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Surfactant-shelled oxygen microbubbles injected via IV may improve response to radiation therapy, according to ...

The gas-filled microbubbles are encapsulated by thin protein shells and have an acoustic refractive index--a property that affects how sound waves propagate through a medium--different from that of ...

Ultrasound images showing oxygen-loaded microbubbles entering the brain of a mouse. Left: contrast-mode image showing microbubbles entering the brain at the periphery (arrows). Right: greyscale image ...

The targeted treatment of brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or brain tumours is challenging because the brain is a particularly sensitive organ that is well protected. That’s why ...
