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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
