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 ...

For the first time, they have visualized how tiny cyclic microjets liquid jets generated by microbubbles penetrate the cell membrane, enabling the drug uptake. The targeted treatment of brain ...

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

The aim is to overcome the blood-brain barrier which normally only allows certain nutrients and oxygen to pass through. Microbubbles that react to ultrasound are a particularly promising method for ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Its developer, Science Co., is known for its "mirabath" tub that uses foamy microbubbles in place of directly washing one's body with a soapy sponge or scrubber like a loofah. Yasuaki Aoyama ...
