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 tiny cyclic microjets ...

Microbubbles are small, gas-filled bubbles, typically between 0.5µm and 10µm in diameter, that are widely used as contrast agents in medical imaging and as carriers ...

In most cases, the targeted microbubble contrast agents (MCAs) are fitted with a high-affinity targeting ligand. After the MCAs are adhered to the target, they begin to improve the acoustic signal ...

ETH Zurich researchers have investigated how tiny gas bubbles can deliver drugs into cells in a targeted manner using ultrasound. For the first time, they have visualized how tiny cyclic microjets ...

Ultrasound images showing oxygen-loaded microbubbles entering the brain of a mouse. Left: contrast-mode image showing microbubbles entering the brain at the periphery (arrows). Right: greyscale image ...

London: The ultrasound contrast agents (microbubbles) market is driven by their role in enhancing diagnostic capabilities and revolutionising treatment methods. The demand for microbubbles will stem ...

The targeted treatment of brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or brain tumours is challenging because the brain is a particularly sensitive organ that is well protected. That’s why ...
