Microbubbles that react to ultrasound are a particularly promising method for this sort of therapy. These microbubbles are smaller than a red blood cell, are filled with gas and have a special ...

But recent developments in medical physics have introduced ultrasound-activated microbubbles that temporarily open the BBB, allowing targeted drug delivery. This innovation could revolutionize ...

Scientists have found a way to use tiny bubbles and ultrasound to deliver medicine directly into cells, which could help ...

ETH Zurich 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 visualised how tiny ...

Microbubbles that react to ultrasound are a particularly promising method for this sort of therapy. These microbubbles are smaller than a red blood cell, filled with gas and have consist of a special ...

Now, scientists at ETH Zurich are using an unexpected tool to breach the blockade: microscopic gas bubbles.

A new paper by a team of Concordia researchers from the departments of Biology and Physics proposes a novel method of fighting cancer tumours that uses ultrasound-guided microbubbles — a technology ...

Feb. 21, 2025 — 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 ...
