The rapidly developing field of contrast-enhanced ultrasound relies on the detection of gas-filled, encapsulated microbubbles that produce a unique signature in an acoustic field. These ...

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 for targeted drug delivery.

ETH Zurich researchers show how under ultrasound, microbubbles gas-filled bubbles generate liquid jets that penetrate cell membrane like tiny pinpricks. The dynamics of jets is governed by a ...

Precision therapy with microbubbles Date: February 21, 2025 Source: ETH Zurich Summary: Researchers have investigated how microbubbles tiny gas bubbles can deliver drugs into cells in a targeted ...

The new soundwave-based treatment shows promise in stopping the growth of harmful brain lesions, without surgery or ...

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 ...

Motivated to better understand bubble behavior, a team of researchers at Kyoto University has developed an experimental setup to precisely adjust the distance between microbubbles, employing laser ...

For the first time, they have visualized how tiny cyclic microjets liquid jets generated by microbubbles penetrate the cell ...

In pre-clinical testing, Kheir and Peng injected specifically designed pH-sensitive microbubbles that delivered precise amounts of oxygen and significantly improved survival by preventing ...
