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 …

Recent studies of ultrasound (US) methods for targeted drug delivery and nonviral gene
transfection revealed new, advantageous possibilities. These studies utilized US contrast …

Sonoporation is an approach that can be used to transfer DNA or drugs into cells. However,
very little is known about the mechanism of ultrasound-mediated membrane …

It has been proven, that the cellular uptake of drugs and genes is increased, when the
region of interest is under ultrasound insonification, and even more when a contrast agent is …

Sonoporation uses ultrasound (US) to generate transient nonselective pores on the cell
membrane and has been exploited as a nonviral intracellular drug and gene delivery …

In the past two decades, research has underlined the potential of ultrasound and
microbubbles to enhance drug delivery. However, there is less consensus on the …

Ultrasound-induced intracellular drug delivery, sonoporation, is an appealing and promising
technique for next generation drug delivery system. Many types of molecules, such as …

Sonoporation has been exploited as a promising strategy for intracellular drug and gene
delivery. The technique uses ultrasound to generate pores on the cell membrane to allow …

Ultrasound application in the presence of microbubbles is a promising strategy for
intracellular drug and gene delivery, but it may also trigger other cellular responses. This …

This work investigates whether the application of sonoporation is limited by the size of a
macromolecule being delivered and by the ability of cells to proliferate following uptake …
