Microbubbles (MBs) were observed for the first time in vivo as a curious consequence of
quick saline injection during ultrasound (US) imaging of the aortic root, more than 50 years …

The problem of attenuation and sound speed of bubbly media has remained partially
unsolved. Comprehensive data regarding pressure-dependent changes of the attenuation …

Objectives Kidney diseases significantly impact individuals' quality of life and strongly
reduce life expectancy. Glomeruli play a crucial role in kidney function. Current imaging …

Collapse of lipidic ultrasound contrast agents under high-frequency compressive load has
been historically interpreted by the vanishing of surface tension. By contrast, buckling of …

Systemic injection of thrombolytic drugs is the gold standard treatment for non-invasive
blood clot resolution. The most serious risks associated with the intravenous injection of …

Owing to its potential for application in ultrasound-based diagnosis and therapy, the
dynamics of a microbubble encapsulated by shells has long been theoretically investigated …

Engineered microswimmers show great promise in various biomedical applications.
However, their application is hindered by the slow mobility, limited maneuverability and poor …

Glomeruli are the filtration units of the kidney and their function relies heavily on their
microcirculation. Despite its obvious diagnostic importance, an accurate estimation of blood …
