Sonoporation, in the presence of ultrasound contrast agents (UCA), is a technique that
permits the transfer of drugs, including genes, into cells. In this study, the size of the pores …

Over the last decade, the main thrust of research on bio-effects of ultrasound has been
directed towards prevention of the occurrence of any effects that may potentially be injurious …

within cells with acoustic energy. The cell-killing mechanism of these treatments has not
been clearly determined. To identify the site and degree of damage to tumour cells by …

The new modality of drug targeting of tumors that we are currently developing is based on
drug encapsulation in polymeric micelles, followed by the localized release at the tumor site …

Methods and Phenomena, 3: Ultrasound: Its Applications in Medicine and Biology, Part II
focuses on the applications of ultrasound in biology and medicine, including irradiation …

Acoustic cavitation-mediated wounding (ie, sonoporation) has great potential to improve
medical and laboratory applications requiring intracellular uptake of exogenous molecules; …

Introduction: Ultrasound, which has traditionally been used as a diagnostic tool, is
increasingly being used in non-invasive therapy and drug delivery. Areas covered: Of …

Sonodynamic therapy is a potential cancer treatment modality that has been gaining support
due to its effectiveness in both in vitro and in vivo studies. The therapeutic method combines …

Ultrasonic technologies show great promise for diagnostic imaging and drug delivery in
theranostic applications. The development of functional and molecular ultrasound imaging is …

The first part of this paper reports an experimental investigation of some parameters that
control the occurrence of biologically effective cavitation‐type phenomena in the frequency …
