Ultrasound is investigated as a novel drug delivery tool within cancer therapy. Non-thermal
ultrasound treatment of solid tumours post iv-injection of drug-carrying liposomes may …

Cationic liposomes (CL) are widely used vectors for gene transfer. Recently, ultrasound (US)
was reported to enhance liposome-mediated gene transfer to eucaryotic cells in culture. The …

Beyond the emerging field of oncological ultrasound molecular imaging, the recent
significant advancements in ultrasound and contrast agent technology have paved the way …

Contrast agents for ultrasound imaging, composed of tiny gas microbubbles, have become a
reality in clinical routine. They are extensively used in radiology for detection and …

The encapsulation of drugs in nanocarriers revolutionized research in drug delivery,
especially in cancer chemotherapeutics. Several nanosystems have been developed …

Drug delivery to a diseased tissue will be more efficient if the vascular endothelial
permeability is increased. Recent studies have shown that the permeability of single cell …

The adverse side-effects of chemotherapy can be minimized by delivering the therapeutics
in time and space to only the desired target site. Ultrasound offers one fairly non-invasive …

Cell membrane damage induced by pulsed or continuous ultrasound (US) activation of
attached contrast agent gas bodies was examined in an in vitro model system. Monolayers …

Sonoporation is the membrane disruption generated by ultrasound and has been exploited
as a non-viral strategy for drug and gene delivery. Acoustic cavitation of microbubbles has …

The transfer of material from phospholipid-coated microbubbles to cell membranes has
been hypothesized to play a role in ultrasound-mediated drug delivery. In this study, we …
